Let R be a commutative ring with  identity . In this paper  we study  the concepts of  essentially quasi-invertible submodules and essentially  quasi-Dedekind modules  as  a generalization of  quasi-invertible submodules and quasi-Dedekind  modules  . Among the results that we obtain is the following : M  is an essentially  quasi-Dedekind  module if and only if M is aK-nonsingular module,where a module M is K-nonsingular if, for each  , Kerf ≤_e M   implies   f = 0 .
