korke

Korke is a term with several, mostly unrelated, uses in different contexts. In Finnish, korke- functions as a root in words related to height, though korke itself is not commonly used as a standalone headword. The standard Finnish adjectives and nouns include korkea (high, tall, expensive) and korkeus (height). The form korke- appears in compound words and inflected forms according to Finnish grammar, but its meaning is derived from the attached endings rather than from korke alone.

As a surname, korke is attested in Nordic genealogical records, but it remains uncommon. In such use it follows typical surname patterns rather than forming a separate semantic unit.

In modern branding and fiction, korke may be used as a distinctive name for products, companies, or fictional characters. These uses are sporadic and not part of a widely recognized category.

Because korke lacks a single, dominant sense, its interpretation depends on context, capitalization, and the surrounding text.
