Usage notes The analysis as a preposition is not widely acknowledged, but is the most consistent with its behavior in this usage. It introduces a phrase specifying a noun or verb phrase with a mandatory noun argument, but it cannot itself be specified by determiners or adjectives. It retains the capitalization of the original noun. The noun object is always used without an article. Place names and compass directions are most common for this. Adjectives specifying the object are uncommon unless they are part of a proper noun. Further reading Hunsrik Pronunciation hrx /ˈriçtuŋ/ Noun f Richtunge direction hrx Geh weider in do die Richtung.
