The paper studies the spelling of -ás/-és forms of set phrases with a verbal head. This is made necessary by the fact that a long list of exceptions appended to the article no. 126 of the Rules of Hungarian Orthography makes the validity of that paragraph doubtful. Furthermore, prior to the empirical investigation, it was also debatable whether those exceptions are in fact forms that occur frequently in everyday spelling practice or whether they just get inherited down the tradition of spelling codification from rulebook to rulebook, from dictionary to dictionary. The study reported here gives unambiguous answers to the above dilemmas. Since in some cases the derivatives of traditionally spelt phrasemes occurred either infrequently or practically not at all in the corpora we have investigated, and the contexts also exhibit a number of irregular properties, the author thinks that a rethinking of the article no.126 is by all means justified.

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.

The author's main aim was to present new problems or inconsistencies emerging in the spelling of acronyms. This is important since acronyms constitute a part of the Hungarian word stock that is undergoing changes at the fastest rate today. Deficiencies in the 11th edition of the Rules of Hungarian Orthography have been clearly pointed out by this empirical study, suggesting furthermore that phenomena diverging from the orthographical norms have to be traced back to some serious reason(s). A deeper understanding of those reasons could be based on an even more extensive study. One thing is certain: in creating the 12th edition of the rule book, tendencies occurring in the everyday practice of writing ought to be taken into consideration, and gaps in the regulations have to be filled in, in accordance with the general logic of Hungarian orthography.
