sírokon

Sírokon is the locative plural form of the Hungarian noun sír, meaning “grave.” It designates a spatial relation indicating position on the surface of multiple graves, and it appears in contexts describing cemeteries, landscape imagery, or poetic prose. The form is used with locative meaning, typically after prepositions that govern location, as in phrases like a sírokon.

Morphology and usage. The base noun sír becomes sírok in the plural (nominative plural). To express “on the graves,” the locative suffix -on (with the appropriate vowel harmony -en or -ön in other contexts) is added to sírok, yielding sírokon. Therefore, sírokon translates literally as “on the graves.” Like other Hungarian locative forms, sírokon changes to sírokon, sírokon át, vagy sírokon kívül in different constructions depending on the surrounding prepositions and the intended meaning.

Context and nuance. Sírokon frequently appears in descriptive or literary text to evoke cemetery settings, solemn atmospheres, or natural landscapes that interact with graves. It is not a common everyday expression, but it is standard in correct Hungarian morphology for indicating surface-level location on or near graves within appropriate contexts.

Related forms. The word derives from sír (grave) with standard plural suffix -ok to form sírok, followed by the locative suffix -on. Other locative variations follow vowel harmony, yielding síron, síron, sírön, or sírokon depending on the root and surrounding structure.
