peatükina

Peatükina is a term encountered in some Estonian-language discussions that translates roughly to “as a chapter” or “in the form of a chapter.” It is not a standard or widely defined term in major linguistic or literary references, and its precise meaning varies by context.

In practice, peatükina is used to describe two related ideas: (1) a structuring approach in which a text is organized into clearly delineated chapters, with each chapter contributing to a larger narrative or argument; and (2) a way of presenting a passage as if it were an independent chapter within a larger work, emphasizing modularity or self-contained argument. This usage is often found in criticism or editorial notes rather than in formal style guides.

Usage notes: The term appears sporadically and lacks a single, universally accepted definition. Because there is no standardized definition, readers should rely on the surrounding text to determine how peatükina is being used in a given discussion.
