recepthez

Recepthez is a Hungarian grammatical form built from the noun recept, meaning “recipe,” plus a directional suffix that marks movement toward or reference to something.

The precise variant can differ with other stems, but the concept remains the same: the suffix modifies the noun to express direction or reference to that noun.
