Usage notes

While hin- is nominally the counterpart of her- and may require being exchanged for it depending on context, the prefix has lexicalized in some verbs and remains unchanged in them regardless of how it relates to the speaker's position, for example in hinfallen or the reflexive sense of hinziehen.
