The purpose of this paper is to discuss some debated etymologies that have competing explanations in Hungarian and in other Uralic languages. It is shown that in most cases quite clearly one of the suggested etymologies is superior and that some phonological details have been neglected in recent discussion of these etymologies. The discussion includes criticism of some recent etymologies that have not yet been commented on elsewhere in detail
