leheküljed

Leheküljed is the Estonian term for pages, the plural form of lehekülg. It denotes the individual pages within a larger work, whether a book, a document, or a website. The concept covers both physical pagination and digital navigation, where a page is a distinct unit of content that can be accessed, cited, or linked.

The word is a compound of leht, meaning leaf or page, and külg, meaning side. This reflects the traditional image of a book leaf. In printed texts, leheküljed are numbered, and references often specify a range of pages (for example, leheküljed 12–15). On the web, leheküljed refer to individual screens or pages within a site or a wiki; each lehekülg has content, a URL, and can be linked to from other pages.

In Estonian, related terms differentiate scopes of the online environment. Veebileht or veebilehekülg denotes a web page on a website, while kodulehekülg refers to the homepage of a site. In wikis, each article is typically a lehekülg that users can edit and where revisions are tracked, and pages are connected through hyperlinks and categories.

Usage and conventions vary by context. In bibliographic and scholarly work, references may specify leheküljed or page ranges. In digital and wiki contexts, the focus is on navigation, accessibility, and the organization of information into discrete leheküljed that collectively form the broader document or site.
