References[edit]

  1. ^ For transcription, [lodzs] is given in Laczkó, Krisztina with Attila Mártonfi (2006) Helyesírás [Orthography], Budapest: Osiris Kiadó, →ISBN. Word-final dzs is always pronounced long (unless it follows another consonant in the same syllable). The second and the third variants may reflect the original pronunciation more faithfully but are likely to cause non-Polish-speakers more difficulty when trying to recognize the name.
