Csigolyahoz

Csigolyahoz is the allative form of the Hungarian noun csigolya, meaning vertebra. In Hungarian grammar, the allative case (suffixes -hoz, -hez, -höz) expresses movement toward or direction to a location. When applying this to csigolya, csigolyahoz literally means “to the vertebra.” The standard orthography in Hungarian is csigolyához, with diacritics; csigolyahoz is a variant often seen when diacritics are omitted, such as in all-text contexts or certain software.

Usage in context is common in anatomy, medicine, and descriptive texts. It denotes a relation or action directed at a vertebra, for example in surgical planning, imaging reports, or anatomical descriptions. Phrases may describe anything attached, approaching, or oriented toward a specific vertebra, such as implants fixed to a vertebra, or structures located near the vertebra.

Examples (illustrative, using the unaccented form csigolyahoz): a csigolyahoz rögzített implantátum, a csigolyahoz közeli idegek, vagy a csigolyahoz tartozó ízületek. These phrases illustrate how the allative form functions to specify a vertebral reference point or target of an action.
