Usage notes[edit]
Some astronomical and geographical terms have both a lowercase (common noun) and a capitalized (proper noun) form. For föld (“ground, soil”)―Föld (“Earth”), hold (“moon, satellite”)―Hold (“the Moon”), and nap (“day; sun”)―Nap (“the Sun”), the lowercase forms are used in the everyday sense and the capitalized forms in the astronomical sense. In other similar pairs, the former refers to generic sense, and the latter specifies the best known referent: egyenlítő (“equator”)―Egyenlítő (“Equator”), naprendszer (“solar system, planetary system”)―Naprendszer (“Solar System”), and tejút (“galaxy”, literally “milky way”, but galaxis and galaktika are more common)―Tejút (“Milky Way”).[1][2][3][4]
