vláknu

Vláknu is the dative singular form of the Czech neuter noun vlákno, which means thread, filament, or fiber. The base noun vlákno refers to a thin, elongated strand used in textiles, sewing, and various technical contexts to denote a fiber or filament. As a grammatical form, vláknu is used in sentences where vlákno functions as the indirect object or when it is governed by a preposition that requires the dative case. It is a morphological extension of vlákno and does not carry a separate lexical meaning on its own.

In practice, vláknu appears in grammatical constructions rather than as a standalone noun. The word vlákno itself has broad semantic coverage, including textile threads, natural or synthetic fibers, and, by extension, metaphorical or technical notions of slender strands in disciplines such as biology or materials science. The dative form vláknu is thus encountered in descriptions, translations, or grammar references that illustrate Czech case inflection and sentence syntax.

Etymology traces vlákno to the older Slavic word for a thin strand, with cognates in related languages reflecting the same basic concept of a thread or filament. The dative form vláknu participates in standard declension patterns of neuter nouns ending in -o in Czech, demonstrating how the language marks roles like indirect objects and beneficiaries within sentences.
