koteloiden

Koteloiden is a Finnish word form derived from kotelo, commonly translated as "case", "casing", "enclosure", "sheath" or "pod". Grammatically, koteloiden appears as a plural oblique form used to indicate possession, association or partitive meanings (for example "of the cases" or "the cases' ...") in contexts where the plural is required. Its exact grammatical function depends on sentence structure and required case marking.

The base noun kotelo is used across multiple fields. In electronics and engineering it denotes housings or enclosures that protect components and shape devices; in mechanical contexts it can refer to bearing housings, casings or protective shells. In biology and entomology kotelo may describe cocoons, pupal cases or protective sheaths produced by insects or other organisms. In manufacturing and packaging kotelo denotes boxes, containers or blisters designed to encase products.

Usage examples often combine koteloiden with descriptive terms to specify material, function or quantity (for example translated as "the enclosures' design" or "of the protective casings"). The term is common in technical documentation, product specifications and scientific descriptions in Finnish. As a morphological form rather than a separate lexical entry, koteloiden is primarily encountered within larger syntactic constructions rather than as an isolated lemma.
