fate.
shúthima, n. Wind, either literal or as a type of étava. Like the 'winds of fate' in other cultures, shúthimai tend to be sudden, unexpected forces that shape Etharine with far-reaching consequences.
usage: As phenomenological concepts, shúthima and stía were Sarthían coinages and are not used in the Venika. They are loosely paralleled by fopesso and ikesso, respectively.

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.
