céh

See also: Čeh, -сөн, ceh, and сен

Hungarian

Etymology

Borrowed from German Zeche; more specifically, from Bavarian Zech in one of its obsolete senses "association" or "get-together"[1], from Middle High German zech, zeche.[2]

Pronunciation
  • IPA(key): [ˈt͡seː] ((if it has no suffix or if its suffix starts with a consonant, e.g. céhnek)
  • IPA(key): [ˈt͡seːɦ] (in inflected forms when followed by a vowel, e.g. céhek)
  • IPA(key): [ˈt͡seːx] (another pronunciation variant, regardless of any subsequent sounds)[3]
  • Rhymes: -t͡seː

Noun

céh (plural céhek)

  1. guild (association of tradespeople)

Declension

The singular instrumental and translative case may differ depending on the dialect. When the word is pronounced with a silent H, they are céhvel and céhvé, respectively, but for speakers who pronounce the H, the corresponding forms will be céhhel and céhhé.[4] Lua error: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'h' (a nil value)
