We're currently doing some long-overdue site maintenance that will likely involve some outages, including a temporary shut-down of our commenting functions. We'll hopefully be done within a few days. In the meantime, thanks for your patience and concern!

Késhegynyi

Knife-tip

Késhegynyi (“KAYSH-HEDJ-NYI”) means “knife-tip” in Hungarian, and is used as a unit of measurement in some Hungarian cookbooks.
