The author has been working on etymological statistics for more than twenty years now. In 2017, he compiled a statistics of origin of the most widely known Hungarian epic poem, János Arany’s Toldi, with respect to the inventory and occurrence (types and tokens) of the words and lemmas occurring in it. The present paper is a counterpart of the 2017 paper, complementing it in some respects. This time, the author explores the proportions of categories of origin with respect to the stems of the words included in the poem. On the one hand, the results are compared to those of the earlier study, and on the other hand, the present paper is intended to serve as a basis of comparison for similar studies in the future. The author hopes that the results of his analyses can be utilised at various levels of education from primary schools to doctoral studies.
