étava, n. Any metaphysical construct believed to emanate history; see stía, shúthima, fopesso, and ikesso, and also Lilitic Fate for a more general treatise on the subject.

usage: Used in both Sarthian and Venikan contexts. Venikan prefers a mundane (lútsinía) neuter form étave to accommodate its masculine-artificial (sarekía) varieties, hence the prevalence of étavine and not étavina.
