ajtófél

== Hungarian == === Etymology === ajtó (“door”) +‎ fél, originally a genitive construction; the latter element of debated origin: Deriving from Proto-Finno-Ugric *pele or *pēle (“column, stang”), compare Finnish pieli (“jamb, post”), Estonian peel (“pole, post”), and Moksha [script needed] (päĺ, “peg, pole”). This Hungarian term then coincided with the presumably unrelated Hungarian fél (“half”) and the (definitely unrelated) Hungarian fél (“to be afraid”). Deriving from fél (“half, side”). Although neither origin can be excluded, the first seems to be more likely, while even in that case the sense fél (“half”) may have affected the development of this term. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): [ˈɒjtoːfeːl] Hyphenation: aj‧tó‧fél Rhymes: -eːl === Noun === ajtófél (plural ajtófelek) (dialectal) alternative form of ajtófélfa (“doorjamb, doorpost”) (archaic) synonym of ajtótok (“doorcase, doorframe”) ==== Declension ==== ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Related terms ==== === References === === Further reading === ajtófél in Nóra Ittzés, editor, A magyar nyelv nagyszótára [A Comprehensive Dictionary of the Hungarian Language] (Nszt.), Budapest: Akadémiai Kiadó, 2006–2031 (work in progress; published a–ez as of 2024). ajtófél in Czuczor, Gergely and János Fogarasi: A magyar nyelv szótára (“A Dictionary of the Hungarian Language”).
