svalovou

Svalovou is a grammatical form rather than a standalone term in Czech. It is the feminine singular accusative form of the adjective svalový, meaning muscular or muscle-related. In sentences it is used to modify feminine nouns in the accusative case, indicating the object of a verb or a prepositional construction that requires this form.

In ordinary usage, svalovou appears in scientific, medical, and sports contexts where muscular characteristics or muscular tissue are described. It commonly occurs with feminine nouns such as hmota (mass), tkáň (tissue), or svalová tkáň (muscular tissue) in the accusative: for example, svalovou hmotu (muscle mass as a direct object) or svalovou tkáň (muscular tissue in accusative position). The corresponding nominative feminine singular form is svalová, used before the noun in subjects or predicates in standard word order.

The form is part of standard Czech adjective declension and can be contrasted with other gender and case forms of svalový, such as svalová (nominative feminine) or svalový (masculine nominative). Because it is a grammatical ending, svalovou does not carry a separate lexical meaning; its purpose is to indicate agreement with a feminine noun in a specific syntactic role.

Related terms in Czech include other inflected forms of svalový and parallel forms in Slovak where similar adjective endings appear. In usage notes, the choice between svalovou and other forms depends on the gender, number, and case of the noun it modifies, as dictated by standard Czech grammar.
