kennoihin

Kennoihin is the illative plural form of kenno, a Finnish noun that can refer to a cell or a honeycomb cell. In beekeeping and in descriptions of honeycombs, kennoihin is used to indicate movement into or location within several cells, translating to “into the cells” in English. The base noun kenno can denote a small compartment or chamber in a beehive, or more generally a cell-like unit in various contexts.

Etymology and grammar: Kenno comes from Finnish, and the illative plural suffix -ihin marks direction toward multiple items. The singular illative form is kennoon. Like other Finnish nouns, kennoihin inflects for number and case and is used with verbs of motion or location.

Usage: Kennoihin appears in scientific writing, beekeeping literature, and descriptive Finnish where the spatial relation to honeycomb cells or similar compartments is expressed. It is not a separate concept with a distinct meaning, but an inflected form of kenno.
