          I’d like a follow-up on this as I’m confused as well. Isn’t 庭 a noun?

          EDIT: And this one as well

          Also having trouble understanding why ごとき doesn’t work here. ごとし seems straightforward but I’m not really picking up on the difference in nuance between ごとく and ごとき. In sentences like
          ウサイン・ボルトの如く走る。
          ガンダルフの如き英雄はたんと無い。
          The two forms seem like they’re fulfilling the same purpose.

          Edit: just realized, ごとき modifies a noun (like のような), ごとく adds description (like のように)
