csontokhoz

Csontokhoz is a Hungarian directional suffix form built from the plural noun csontok (bones) plus the suffix -hoz, which indicates movement toward or relation to something. It represents a dative-type construction used to express direction or reference in relation to bones. The choice among -hoz, -hez, and -höz depends on the last vowel of the stem; for csontok the form is csontokhoz.

In usage, csontokhoz appears mainly in anatomical, medical, and biomechanical language to specify proximity, direction, or relation to bones. It can be found in noun phrases and compound expressions such as csontokhoz vezető út (the path leading to the bones) or csontokhoz kapcsolódó szövet (tissue connected to the bones). The construction also appears in figurative or descriptive contexts to designate a target or reference point related to bones.

Morphology notes: csontokhoz arises from the plural csontok, with the directional suffix -hoz attached according to Hungarian vowel harmony rules. This form is part of a broader set of directional suffixes -hoz/-hez/-höz that attach to nouns to indicate direction toward objects or places.
