      Mármost a ragok és képzők többnyire kétalakúak, hogy a mély hangrendű szóhoz mélyet és magashoz magasat lehessen tenni. Ezért azt mondjuk, hogy kép | es | ség | ei | vel, illetve hogy ad | ós | ság | ai | val. Így nyilván mindenki ráismer erre a harmóniára.
      Now, the suffixes and derivational affixes generally have two forms, so that a low-vowel word can take a low-vowel suffix and a high-vowel word can take a high-vowel suffix. This is why we say "kép | es | ség | ei | vel" [with his/her abilities] and "ad | ós | ság | ai | val" [with his/her debts]. Thus, it is clear that everyone recognizes this harmony.
