I got all excited, thinking I’d found an insight into the linguistic motivations behind the cultural phenomenon of hungarians kicking each other when they’re down, until I realized that usually the -ék has no accent (-ek). thankfully, my generous friend salvaged my ego with this ::

“the ‘é’ is just an additional vocal, saving the hungarians pronounce two not matching consonant“

theory saved :: to pair unmatching hungarian bits, you must split them apart : )
