あたかも is used to introduce a counterfactual statement emphatically. This means that what is described in the あたかも phrase/clause is not real or true. あたかも is usually paired with auxiliaries meaning “appear,” such as ようだ and ごとし. The use of ごとし, however, is limited to formal written language. The noun-modifying and verb-modifying forms of ごとし are ごとき and ごとく, respectively.
