Sulamisista

Sulamisista is a Finnish-language term used in technical and scientific writing to refer to melts or melting-related phenomena. The form is derived from sulama or sulaminen, words for melt or molten material, and appears in contexts where more than one melt or melting event is being discussed. In common usage it functions as a nominalized plural form, often introducing phrases such as from/among the melts or about the melts, depending on the surrounding grammar.

In geology and petrology, sulamisista may refer to melts produced by partial melting of rocks, including felsic and mafic melts, and to the compositions and origins of these melts in crustal processes. In metallurgy and materials science, it can denote molten metal or alloy during smelting, refining, or casting, as in discussion of sulfide melts or silicate melts in crucible processes.

Etymology and grammar: The term is formed from the base sulama/sulaminen with the Finnish plural/ablative suffix -ista/-istä, a standard construction in technical Finnish for referring to multiple instances or sources of a concept. Its precise grammatical role depends on the sentence.

While not a widely used standalone concept, sulamisista appears in specialized Finnish-language literature on melting phenomena and is generally understood by readers in those fields.
