Lõikub is an Estonian word that describes the action of something intersecting or overlapping with another. It is the third-person singular present tense form of the verb "lõikuma," which means to intersect, cut across, or overlap. This verb can be used in various contexts, both literal and figurative.

In a literal sense, lõikub can refer to physical objects crossing each other's paths. For example, two roads might lõikub at an intersection, or the branches of a tree might lõikub. In geometry, lines or planes lõikub when they share a common point or line.

Figuratively, lõikub can describe how different concepts, ideas, or events coincide or influence each other.

The word conveys a sense of meeting, crossing, or shared space.
