hammastega

Hammastega is a term that may appear in Estonian-language texts to mean "with teeth." It is formed from the noun hammas (tooth) combined with a suffix that denotes association, yielding a descriptive phrase rather than a standalone noun. In use, hammastega functions as a descriptive modifier applied to nouns that possess teeth or tooth-like features. It is encountered in scientific and technical vocabulary, including dental terminology, zoological descriptions of dentition, and mechanical or architectural descriptions of serrated or toothed parts such as gears, saws, or combs. The exact collocations vary by field, but the core idea remains the same: the subject described as hammastega has teeth.

Geographic note: There is no widely recognized settlement, administrative unit, or geographic feature known as "Hammastega" in major atlases or gazetteers as of the latest references. If used as a place name in fiction or local contexts, it would require citation to establish its existence and location.

Etymology: The word combines hammas (tooth) with a suffix forming a possessive/comitative sense in Estonian, yielding a phrase equivalent to "with teeth." The form is not a standalone noun in standard Estonian; it typically appears within noun phrases.
