Reunuksen

Reunuksen is the genitive singular form of the Finnish noun reunus, which denotes an edge, rim, border, or margin of an object. In Finnish, the genitive case is used to indicate possession or a descriptive relationship, so reunuksen translates roughly as “of the edge” or “the edge’s.”

In usage, reunuksen appears in phrases that describe attributes or qualities related to an edge. For example, laatan reunuksen väri means the color of the tile’s edge, and reunuksen muoto refers to the shape of the edge. The form is common in design, architecture, and descriptive writing where the edge or border of an item is being specified.

Morphology and pronunciation: reunuksen is formed by taking the noun reunus and adding the genitive singular suffix -n. The word is typically pronounced with the stress on the first syllable: /ˈre.u.nuk.sen/ (approximate IPA). Finnish grammar treats the genitive as a flexible connector for attributive phrases, making reunuksen a useful tool for clarifying relationships between objects and their edges.

Etymology: reunus derives from Proto-Finnic roots meaning edge or boundary, with -n as the standard genitive singular suffix in modern Finnish. Related forms include reunus (the edge in a basic sense) and the plural reunukset (edges, rims).
