Nyomokon

Nyomokon is a Hungarian locative plural form derived from the noun nyom, meaning trace, imprint, or track. The expression nyomokon translates roughly to “on the tracks” or “on the footprints,” indicating location relative to multiple traces rather than a single one.

Morphology and usage: The base nyom has a plural form nyomok (traces, tracks). The locative plural suffix -on/-en/-ön is added after the plural, producing nyomokon, which means “on the tracks.” This form is used with verbs and prepositions to describe being located on or following a set of traces, such as in tracking, forensics, or descriptive prose.

Common contexts: Nyomokon frequently appears in wildlife tracking, criminology and investigative reporting, and narrative writing where a scene is described in terms of following or examining multiple traces. It is typically combined with verbs like haladni (to move), követni (to follow), or keresni (to search).

Examples:

- A nyomokon haladt a nyomozó, hogy megtudja, ki járt ott.

- A vadonban a nyomokon keresztül vezette az ösvény az erdészet munkatársait.

These constructions illustrate how nyomokon situates actions or observations in relation to multiple traces.

See also: nyom (trace), nyomozás (investigation), nyomkeresés (tracking). The term is primarily linguistic and descriptive, not a proper noun, and its relevance is strongest in contexts involving tracking or forensic description.
