Hungarian has other irregularities. For example, színház ‘theatre’ is written with a long i, but it is pronounced short. Also surnames being spelled in a variety of ways but pronounced the same, e.g. Veress versus Vörös, or with pre-modern orthography like Széchenyi or Bereczki. I vaguely recall some instances where fel- was alternatively spelled föl- well into the twentieth century.
