Talk:mérleg

Ety
The word serleg is very similar. Could it have been an inspiration to creating the word? Qorilla 10:14, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
 * The origin of serleg is unknown according to G. Zaicz. So it was not the inspiration for mérleg. The base word was mér and Ferenc Toldy added the suffix -leg which was treated at the time, by mistake, as a noun suffix. --Panda10 11:24, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
 * What was used before? Surely Hungarians had scales before the 19th century... 2.202.159.84 23:09, 14 February 2020 (UTC)
 * There were scales but they were called differently. Some of the old terms:
 * fontos mérték
 * embermázsáló (=személymérleg), font, fontoló, kompona, mázsás, mérték, slág Panda10 (talk) 21:07, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
