statymu

Statymu is the ASCII rendering of a Baltic-language inflected form derived from the Lithuanian noun statymas, meaning statute or law. In Lithuanian, statymas yields various forms, including statymai (nominative plural) and statymų (genitive plural). Statymu can occur as an instrumental singular form and is sometimes seen in transliterations or older orthographies that render diacritics without marks. In English-language discussions it is not a distinct legal concept; rather, statymu appears as a grammatical form used to refer to statutes within context, or as a transliterated label in bilingual texts.

In legal and linguistic usage, statymu is associated with statutes or legal provisions. Phrases in Lithuanian such as statymu leidyba (enactment by statute) or statymu pagrindai (statutory basis) illustrate how the word functions within larger expressions. The underlying concept is the body of written laws enacted by a legislative authority.

Etymology and related forms: statymas is related to the Polish statut and Latin statutum, reflecting common European roots for law and statute. The form statymu appears in contexts where the language requires an instrumental or other case form, or where diacritics are omitted in transcription.
