Vooludest

Vooludest is a grammatical form in Estonian, functioning as the elative plural of the noun vool, which means flow or current. In this sense, vooludest denotes origin or source from multiple currents or streams. It is not a separate word with its own meaning, but a inflected form used to express “from the currents.”

Etymology and grammar: The base is voolud, the nominative plural of vool. The elative plural ending -est attaches to this form to indicate origin “from” multiple flows. The construction is common in Estonian for citing sources or origins in noun phrases. The word typically appears after a possessive or in a noun phrase that designates the source of something, for example in phrases describing data, effects, or materials.

Usage: Vooludest is used to indicate provenance of tangible or abstract phenomena. It commonly occurs in academic, scientific, or descriptive text where origins are important. Examples include phrases such as jõe vooludest pärinevad andmed (data originating from the river currents) and vooludest tulenenud mõju (the influence arising from the currents). The form can combine with adjectives and other nouns in a noun phrase, guiding readers to the source of whatever is being described.

See also: In Estonian grammar, the elative case is used to express origin or source, often with nouns denoting physical or metaphorical flows or currents. Vooludest illustrates how plural elative forms function in everyday and specialized language.
