Early Hungarian grammars and the Hungarian grammatical literature written in Latin contain numerous descriptions related to the Hungarian inventory of segments as a whole, or in the context of individual phonemes. One of the purposes of this paper is to present the terminology that grammar authors used to characterize the Hungarian segment inventory. The study also examines the origin and variations of the terminology in the works of the individual authors, as well as the contemporary assumptions about the set of segments, their articulation and the psychoacoustic image they evoke. Another purpose of the paper is to study how the results of modern experimental phonetics can correlate with the metaphorical descriptions applied by the early grammarians, and what kinds of articulatory-auditory experiences supported by experimental data may have led to the development of the terminology used for the characterization of segments.
