WESTWARD/WESTWARDS
Most often westward is used as the object of a preposition (indicating both the direction of some sort of movement
or the location or relation of fixed objects): 23 times (out of 33) with "to", twice as the object of "from" (See: YTHMS-1, VICTPR13), and once with "for" (See: LJ-MS-23). Other instances of westward vary with regard to parts of
speech, modifying both nouns and verbs (See: AF-MS-02, OIMSPR10, FRS-MS-1, FRSTSR-1, AF-TSR02). Ditto
for westwards (See: SA-MSK02, .p22 and .p 24) Maybe.
