Idiófonokig

Idiófonokig is a Hungarian directional postpositional form used in linguistic and ethnomusicological contexts to indicate the upper bound of a range described as extending to idiophones. The word is built from the plural noun idiófonok (idiophones) plus the postpositional suffix -ig, which marks extent or termination.

In use, idiófonokig appears in phrases such as idiófonokig terjedő skála or idiófonokig terjedő kategória, signaling a scale or category that reaches up to the idiophone group. It is typically employed when describing classifications, typologies, or inventories of sound-producing instruments, particularly in discussions of how instrument families are organized along a continuum.

Etymology: idiófon derives from the Greek elements idio- meaning “own, distinct” and -phone meaning “sound.” The Hungarian plural form is idiófonok, and the directional suffix -ig yields idiófonokig.

Notes: The construction is technical and relatively specialized, and it is more common in scholarly or cataloging texts than in everyday language. It is a stylistic device for precise descriptions of instrument families and their relative scope within a system of classification.
