Hungarian
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From the same alk- stem as alkuszik (“to bargain”) + -t (instantaneous suffix).[1] The original stem is probably related to Hungarian alkalom (“opportunity”) and alku (“deal”), and it may also be related to Hungarian olt (“to vaccinate”), which may derive from Proto-Uralic *alɜ- (“to add/fasten to something, fit”).[2]
Pronunciation
[edit]Verb
[edit]alkot
- (transitive) to create (especially something creative, imaginative, and originative)
- (transitive) to make, make up, form, compose, constitute
