Pojavov

Pojavov is a grammatical form found in several South Slavic languages, functioning as the genitive plural of the noun pojava, which means appearance, manifestation, or phenomenon. The form is used to indicate possession or quantity with regard to multiple appearances or phenomena within a sentence.

Etymology: The noun pojava derives from the root jav- meaning to appear, with the prefix po- forming a noun that denotes an event or manifestation. This root traces back to Proto-Slavic and has cognates across Slavic languages. Pojavov, as genitive plural, is produced by language-specific inflection rules and does not represent a separate lexical item.

Usage: In scholarly and formal prose, pojava and its inflected forms appear in discussions of recurring phenomena or events. Pojavov specifically marks the relation “of the appearances/phenomena” when referring to more than one such occurrence. The exact spelling and morphology of the genitive plural vary by language, and the form pojavov may be one of several possible genitive plurals depending on dialect or standard language. It is generally considered an inflected form rather than an independent entry in dictionaries.

Example: A linguistics or sociology text might discuss the frequency of certain pojava in a dataset, using the genitive plural to indicate multiple phenomena under study. The precise usage depends on the language’s grammatical system.
