eheä

Eheä is a term that appears in various speculative-fiction glossaries and some constructed-language projects. Because it is not part of a single standardized vocabulary, its meaning is not fixed and depends on the author or project.

In many works, eheä denotes a principle or force that binds elements together into a coherent whole. It may be described as harmony, unity, or the essence of balance. In some narratives, eheä is personified as a deity or ancestral spirit who mediates conflict and maintains order among opposing forces.

In constructed languages, eheä is sometimes used as a lexical item meaning “unity” or as a phonological feature associated with a long vowel; the spelling with ä is used to convey a front-rounded or fronted vowel in the language’s orthography. It can also function as a proper name for a language, region, or cultural concept within worldbuilding.

Etymology and origins of the term are fictional and vary by source. In many examples, eheä is presented as an ancient or sacred root within an invented linguistic family, or as a poetic coinage adopted by a particular author or community of creators. As a result, there is no single canonical definition or pronunciation.
