mittekorduv

Mittekorduv is an Estonian adjective meaning not recurring or non-repetitive. It is formed from mitte- meaning “not” and korduv meaning “recurrent” or “repeating.” The word is used to describe phenomena, sequences, or data that do not repeat within a defined scope, and it can be applied across several disciplines.

In mathematical and computational contexts, mittekorduv often appears in discussions of sequences or arrangements where elements appear at most once. For example, a mittekorduv jada (non-repeating sequence) denotes a sequence in which no symbol is repeated. In statistics or data analysis, the term may be used descriptively to indicate samples or results that do not recur within the observed dataset, though practitioners may prefer more specific terminology depending on the field.

In linguistics and other descriptive sciences, mittekorduv can describe features or events that occur only a single time within a given unit of analysis, or objects that lack repetition in form or occurrence. Because usage depends on context and there is no single universal technical definition across all fields, the term is often complemented by more precise phrases such as “mitte korduv” or field-specific equivalents.

Overall, mittekorduv serves as a flexible descriptive label for non-repetition or non-recurring properties, contrasting with korduv, which denotes repetition or recurrence. Its exact interpretation is determined by the disciplinary context and the scope of the analysis.
