A new lefthanded see-saw mechanism is constructed, implying both the smallness of active-neutrino masses and decoupling of heavy passive neutrinos, similarly to the situation in the case of conventional see-saw. But now, in place of the conventional righthanded neutrinos, the lefthanded sterile neutrinos play the role of heavy passive neutrinos, the righthanded neutrinos and righthanded sterile neutrinos being absent. In this case, the neutrino mass term is necessarily of pure Majorana type.
