Trivia concerning the original dictionary

All ‘full’ dictionary pages contain exactly 108 lines (54 per column), except one: pp.208 (page 232) has 107 lines, 54 in the first column and 53 in the second.

The exemplary article femtåget referred to in the introductory section Notes on using the Dictionary is actually missing from the dictionary!

Also missing is the entry fakta as referred to from the section Explanation of Notations.

The Foreword is included both in Hungarian and Swedish. It’s closing paragraph in the Swedish version is below:

Till slut några ord om motiven till vårt arbete. När jag 1950 påbörjade arbetet med denna ordbok, leddes jag inte bara av vetenskapliga syften och praktiska synpunkter, utan jag ville samtidigt även i denna form giva uttryck för den tacksamhet som jag tillsammans med talrika föräldrar till ungerska barn sedan den svåra tiden efter andra världskriget har känt och känner gentemot så många kända och okända svenska välgörare för deras hjälp.

However, the corresponding paragraph is curiously omitted from the Hungarian version. I will leave you to wonder about the reason for this, but I can assure you that it was not due to lack of space.
