Ühesugust

Ühesugust is a neologism used in speculative fiction, conlang circles, and academic thought experiments to discuss the notion of sameness or uniformity within systems that employ non-standard orthography. It is not a widely recognized term in established dictionaries.

The word appears to be a constructed term rather than a loanword from a living language. Its spelling with the initial u with diaeresis signals a foreign or invented origin, while the suffix “-sugust” is a stylized element that developers sometimes attach to emphasize a formal or calendar-like flavor. There is no single canonical etymology.

In use, ühesugust typically functions as a placeholder concept for equivalence or uniformity. In calendar-related thought experiments, it can denote a hypothetical month characterized by constant length and uniform day-night patterns across hemispheres. In linguistics or philosophy of language, it may be employed to discuss how translation handles sameness, identity, or indistinguishability of features across contexts.

Because it is not part of mainstream discourse, examples appear mainly in niche writings, conlang forums, or speculative-fiction indices. It is often introduced to illustrate how a language or calendar could encode the idea of sameness, or to provoke discussion about how naming conventions shape the interpretation of a concept.
