törvény

== Hungarian == === Etymology === Unknown origin. The -vény ending seems to be a noun-forming suffix, however, it cannot be proven due to the unclear etymon. Despite noticeable similarities to Turkish töre (“custom, law”), the Hungarian word's derivation from Old Turkic is less likely for morphological reasons. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): [ˈtørveːɲ] Hyphenation: tör‧vény Rhymes: -eːɲ === Noun === törvény (plural törvények) law (a binding regulation or custom established in a community) law (a rule, principle, or statement of relation) act, statute (written law, as laid down by the legislature) ==== Declension ==== ==== Derived terms ==== === See also === jog (“right”; “law in a more abstract sense”) === References === === Further reading === törvény 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.
