Appeared in JLPT 1 for 2002 (contributor: Amatuka)
Seems may be used mostly in poetic / lyric sense. (contributor: Amatuka)
Actually, this entry is under ごとく since the 〜かの before it can
be seen as a noun phrase, 何万年も前に戻ったか(noun phrase)
＋ の ＋ ごとく (contributor: 誠)
Actually, it sounds similar with 〜かのような, only thing is now
since the following phrase is either an Adjective or Verb, it becomes
〜かのように. And also, ごとく is a classical word. (contributor:
誠)
I agree. The かの of 〜かのよう（に） might need special
explanation for those at a lower level who aren't familiar with these
constructions, but once you've reached level 1 and presumably long-since
mastered 〜よう（に） and 〜かのよう（に） I wouldn't have
thought this required any further mention once the entry for ごとく had
been read; certainly not a seperate entry. (contributor: mochabean)
