vuohen

Vuohen is the genitive singular form of the Finnish noun vuohi, meaning goat. In Finnish grammar, the genitive singular is commonly formed by adding -n to the nominative stem, so vuohi becomes vuohen. This inflected form is used to express possession or association, and it appears in phrases and compounds to indicate something related to goats, such as products or characteristics linked to goats. Vuohen itself is not a standalone lexical entry with its own independent meaning; it functions as a grammatical inflection.

In everyday language, vuohen occurs when linking a head noun to goats, typically to convey ownership or relation. For example, in phrases describing goat-derived products or activities, the genitive form marks the relation to the animal without creating a new noun.

In toponymy and onomastics, elements based on vuohi can appear within longer place names or surnames in local contexts, but such usage is locale-specific and not a standard lexical item. The base noun vuohi is used more broadly to refer to the animal itself and related concepts in agriculture and culture, while vuohen serves primarily as a grammatical form within larger expressions.
