vahemikuks

Vahemikuks is the translative singular form of the Estonian noun vahemik, meaning "interval" or "range." It denotes a change of state or function and is used when something is described as becoming an interval or being used as one.

In Estonian grammar, the translative case marks a transition into a new state or role. Vahemikuks therefore appears in sentences that specify transformation, assignment, or labeling as an interval.

In mathematics and data contexts, vahemik refers to a set of values between lower and upper bounds. The translative form vahemikuks is used when the text indicates that a quantity should be treated as, or defined as, an interval.

Etymology: vahemikuks is formed from vahemik with the translative suffix -uks, indicating "into an interval" or "as an interval."
