lankojen

Lankojen is the genitive plural form of the Finnish noun lanka, meaning thread or yarn. In Finnish grammar, lankojen is used to indicate possession or association with multiple threads, typically in noun phrases describing properties or ownership. For example, lankojen väri means the color of the threads, lankojen koostumus refers to the composition of the threads, and lankojen paksuus describes the thickness of the threads.

Morphology and related forms: the nominative plural of lanka is langat, the genitive singular is langan, and the genitive plural is lankojen. The formation follows standard Finnish inflection for a k-stem noun, with the genitive plural ending -en added to the plural stem.

Usage and context: lankojen appears mainly in discussions about textiles, crafts, or material properties where several threads are being described collectively. It is less common as a stand-alone term and more typically found within descriptive phrases or technical texts.

Notes on ambiguity: when encountered in non-Finnish texts, lankojen may be read as a proper noun or part of a title or name, though in Finnish it is ordinarily a grammatical form rather than a standalone name.
