keszeg
Hungarian
Etymology
From Proto-Finno-Ugric *kećä (“a kind of fish”). Cognate with Northern Mansi Lua error in Module:parameters at line 360: Parameter 1 should be a valid language or etymology language code; the value "mns" is not valid. See WT:LOL and WT:LOL/E.. Possibly a Wanderwort. Similar terms were found in Kartvelian languages, and also in Ossetic (кӕсаг).
Pronunciation
Noun
keszeg (plural keszegek)
Usage notes
- Be careful not to mix it up with the ponty. Even though some fishes under each of these genera overlap, the keszeg is usually a bonier fish which lacks the humped back (but not always).
