 fattyúsor on Hungarian Wikipedia

Etymology edit

fattyú (bastard) +‎ sor (line)

Pronunciation edit

  • IPA(key): [ˈfɒcːuːʃor]
  • Hyphenation: faty‧tyú‧sor

Noun edit

fattyúsor (plural fattyúsorok)

  1. (typography) an orphan or a widow (the first or last line of a paragraph separated from the rest by a page break or column break)

Usage notes edit

The term fattyúsor is often mistakenly used to mean only the last line of a paragraph at the top of a new page (widow), most likely due to a mistranslation in the Hungarian user interface for Microsoft Word. The correct translations are özvegysor for a widow and árvasor for an orphan, but in Hungarian, it is more common to refer to them collectively, without regard to where they appear on a page.
