ágakhoz

Ágakhoz is a Hungarian directional expression formed from the plural noun ágak (branches) plus the suffix -hoz. It denotes movement toward or destination at the branches of a plant or tree. In Hungarian, such directional elements attach to the noun to indicate goal or proximity, and ágakhoz specifically targets the branches as the reference point.

Morphology and usage: The base noun ágak is the plural of ág (branch). The suffix -hoz (with its harmonized variants -hoz, -hez, -höz) follows vowel harmony rules in Hungarian. The resulting form ágakhoz is used with verbs of motion or location to express direction toward the branches, for example, az ágakhoz repül, meaning “it flew to the branches,” or az ösvény az ágakhoz vezet, meaning “the path leads to the branches.”

Semantics and style: Ágakhoz is a concrete, spatial expression common in descriptive prose and everyday speech when branches serve as a focal point or destination. Beyond literal use, it can appear in metaphorical or literary contexts to evoke proximity to a set of branches or a branching structure.
