hegy

== Hungarian == === Etymology === Disputed, possibly from Proto-Uralic. Two different comparisons have been proposed, both with their own problems: Akin to Proto-Samoyedic *koəjə (“mountain”). Akin to Proto-Finnic *kaca (“point”), Proto-Samic *keaćē (“point”). Abondolo (1992) considers the latter comparison "slightly less unconvincing" (and considers hely (“place”) to be the Hungarian cognate to Samoyedic instead). Koivulehto (2001) however has etymologized the Finnic and Samic words for 'point' as early loans from Indo-European, unrelated to Hungarian. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): [ˈhɛɟ] Hyphenation: hegy Rhymes: -ɛɟ === Noun === hegy (plural hegyek) mountain point (of pencil, knife), tip (of finger, tongue, nose) ==== Declension ==== ==== Derived terms ==== === References === === Further reading === (mountain): hegy in Géza Bárczi, László Országh, et al., editors, A magyar nyelv értelmező szótára [The Explanatory Dictionary of the Hungarian Language] (ÉrtSz.), Budapest: Akadémiai Kiadó, 1959–1962.
