lävistyskokoelmiin

Lävistyskokoelmiin is a Finnish noun phrase used to indicate movement into or inclusion in a collection of piercings. The term is formed by combining lävistys (piercing) with kokoelma (collection) and inflecting to illative plural (-iin), producing lävistyskokoelmiin, meaning into piercing collections. It is primarily used in contexts dealing with body modification artifacts, jewelry catalogs, or museum-like inventories where items are organized by thematic collections such as piercings.

Etymology and morphology: Lävistys refers to the practice of puncturing the body to insert jewelry. Kokoelma refers to a set or collection. The illative plural suffix -iin marks direction toward or inclusion in multiple collections. The compound is a typical example of Finnish word formation: a noun-noun compound with a grammatical case suffix.

Usage: In Finnish, the phrase is relatively specialized and often appears in catalogs, blogs, forum discussions, or academic writing about body modification collections. Example sentences: "Uudet esineet lisättiin lävistyskokoelmiin." Another: "Hänen kokoelmiinsa kuuluvat useat klassiset lävistykset." The term emphasizes ownership and category membership within a broader collection, rather than the act of piercing itself.

See also: lävistys, kokoelma, kokoelmat. The expression is most commonly encountered in Finnish-language discussions of body modification artifacts, museum inventories, or hobbyist catalogs, where specialized vocabulary helps distinguish items by their thematic grouping.
