Hezhöz

Hezhöz is not a recognized term with a stand-alone meaning in standard Hungarian or in widely used reference works. In most linguistic or encyclopedic contexts, the string hezhöz does not function as an independent entry. If it appears in text, it is usually a misspelling, a typographical error, or a mis-segmentation of the Hungarian directional suffixes -hoz, -hez, and -höz that attach to noun stems to express motion toward something.

In Hungarian, the suffixes -hoz, -hez, and -höz are used to indicate direction toward a referent and are chosen according to vowel harmony and phonological fit with the preceding stem. They form single words when attached to a noun. Examples include házhoz (to the house), emberhez (to the person), vízhez (to the water), and gyárhoz (to the factory). The choice among -hoz, -hez, and -höz follows the general rule that the ending adapts to the last vowel quality of the stem: back-vowel stems commonly take -hoz, front-vowel stems take -hez or -höz as phonologically appropriate.

If you encounter hezhöz in a text, it is prudent to treat it as a likely error rather than a distinct term. Correct usage depends on the intended noun and its vowel harmony, and the proper forms to remember are the three standard suffixes -hoz, -hez, and -höz.
