törzshez

Törzshez is the allative form of the Hungarian noun törzs, meaning “to the trunk” or “toward the trunk.” The noun törzs has multiple senses, including the trunk of a human or animal body, the trunk of a tree, or a central or main part of something. The allative suffix -hoz/-hez/-höz marks direction toward a reference point, so törzshöz is the standard form used to indicate movement toward the trunk.

In standard Hungarian, the correct allative form after törzs is törzshöz, with ö reflecting the stem’s vowel harmony. Therefore törzshez is generally considered nonstandard or a misspelling rather than a correct form in modern usage. It may appear in historical texts or in dialectal writing, but it is not the normative form.

Usage notes and examples:

- Odamentem a törzshöz. (I walked toward the trunk.)

- A fa törzshöz vezető út rövid. (The path leading to the trunk of the tree is short.)

- A plakettet a törzshez rögzítették. (The plaque was fastened to the trunk.)

See also:

- törzs, meaning the trunk in various senses

- -hoz/-hez/-höz, the Hungarian allative suffix family used to indicate direction toward a reference point

Summary: törzshez is commonly incorrect in standard Hungarian; the correct allative form is törzshöz. The word serves to express movement toward or location relative to the trunk in anatomical, botanical, or metaphorical contexts.
