Hungarian edit
Etymology edit
The pronoun and determiner senses probably derive from an earlier a[1] + a pronoun-forming suffix -z,[2] where the former element originates from Proto-Uralic *o or *u (“that, that other”).[3] Its cognates include Moksha омба (omba, “other”), омбоце (omboće, “second”), Eastern Mari умбал (umbal, “far, distant”),[4][5] Udmurt отын (otyn, “there”)[6][7] and Komi-Zyrian ата (ata, “here”), асы (asy, “look here”).[3]
The definite article was created by means of conversion,[1][2] originally only in the form az, later shortened to a’ before consonants until the early 20th century, when the spelling a was accepted.

Usage notes edit
Because az (in the first, common usage) takes a definite article (the) and van (“is, to be”) is omitted in "who"/"what" statements, some terms are ambiguous. “Az a ház” can mean both “that house” as a phrase and “That is the house” as a whole sentence. The same ambiguity may arise with ez.
