Sejtjeihez

Sejtjeihez is a Hungarian directional phrase meaning to its cells or toward the cells of it. It is not a standalone noun but a combination of a base noun with possessive and directional suffixes that together convey movement or targeting to a cellular level.

Morphology and construction: the base word is sejt, meaning cell. The form sejtjei expresses possession, effectively translating to its cells. The directional suffix -hez (one of the -hoz/-hez/-höz alternations) marks direction toward a destination. When combined, sejtjeihez means to its cells. The construction illustrates Hungarian agglutination, where multiple suffixes attach to a noun stem to express possessive and directional meaning in a single word.

Usage: sejtjeihez is used in contexts where something is directed toward, delivered to, or aimed at the cells of something. For example, in scientific or medical writing one might see a sentence like: A gyógyszert a sejtjeihez juttatták, meaning The drug was delivered to its cells. Such phrases are common when discussing cellular targeting, intracellular delivery, or cellular responses to treatments.

Grammar notes: sejtjeihez demonstrates vowel harmony in Hungarian suffix selection. The form -hez is used here because the preceding segment sejtjei ends with the front vowel i, which leads to the -hez variant rather than -hoz or -höz. This pattern applies broadly to directional suffixes in Hungarian, which adapt to the final vocalic environment of the stem.
