lokeiksi

Lokeiksi is a Finnish grammatical form that represents the translative plural of the noun loki, meaning logs or log entries. In Finnish, the translative case expresses a change of state or role, and the suffix -ksi marks that transformation. The plural form lokeiksi is used when referring to more than one log or log entry undergoing a change.

Etymology and grammar: The base noun loki denotes a log, record, or log entry, depending on context. The translative suffix -ksi can be attached to stems to indicate “into” or “as.” For plural, loki roots combine with the plural form to yield lokeiksi for “into logs” or “as logs.” The singular translative would be lokiksi, for example when referring to a single log transforming into a different state.

Usage: Lokeiksi is most likely found in technical, analytical, or fictional contexts that discuss transformation or reclassification of data, events, or objects into logs or log-like records. It can appear in sentences such as “Tapahtumat voidaan muuntaa lokeiksi” (“The events can be converted into logs”). Because the term is tied to a specific grammatical function, it is not a common everyday word outside discussions of Finnish morphology or specialized writing.

Notes: There is no widely recognized proper noun or widely cited concept named “lokeiksi” as a distinct entity in standard reference works. When encountered, it is typically understood as a grammatical form rather than a standalone concept. See also Finnish grammar, translative case, and noun declension.
