The form can be translated as “with settlements” or “on settlements” and is used to indicate means, manner, or location involving several such agreements or reconciliations.

Contexts and meanings: In a legal or diplomatic context, sovituksilla refers to agreements or settlements reached through negotiation, often as a route to resolve conflicts without litigation. In everyday language, it can describe reconciliation processes between individuals. In religious or theological contexts, sovitus denotes atonement; while sovituksilla would refer to several such atonement-related practices or rites when talking about multiple instances.
