csontokból

Csontokból is a Hungarian ablative phrase meaning “from bones.” It is formed from the noun csontok (bones, plural) plus the ablative suffix -ból, which marks origin or source. The form csontokból is used when referring to something that originates in or is derived from bones, or to indicate material from which something is made.

Morphology and usage. The suffix -ból/-ból expresses origin or material, and its form harmonizes with the preceding word. In csontokból, the stem csontok ends with the back vowel o, so the appropriate form -ból is used. The phrase can indicate material (what something is made from) or source (where something comes from). In typical sentences, it appears with a passive or stative sense, such as “csontokból készült” or “csontokból készült eszközök.”

Examples of use. A statue or object can be described as made from bones: “A szobor csontokból készült.” In a museum context: “A kiállított tárgyak csontokból készült eszközöket mutatnak be.” In paleontology or forensics contexts: “A lelet csontokból álló maradványokat tartalmaz.” These constructions illustrate how csontokból functions to specify the material or origin of an item.

Context. Csontokból is commonly encountered in archaeology, anthropology, paleontology, and crafts where bones are used as a raw material or are the subject of analysis. As a general-purpose ablative form, it collaborates with verbs like készül, készült, vagy áll, to express that something is derived from or composed of bones.
