In the practice of Hungarian spelling, the way of writing i-final geographical names suffixed in -i arises again and again. This issue is especially burning at present since the relevant arguments and counter-arguments have recently been raised anew during the preparation of the proposal for a 12th edition of the current handbook of orthography. This paper argues for the present spelling that follows the principle of simplicity, and against the proposed modification.
