jegyzéke

Jegyzéke is a Hungarian noun meaning a register, list, or catalogue of something. It is formed from jegyzék, the base word for a list, with the possessive suffix -e, indicating that the list belongs to or concerns a particular entity. In text, the construction often appears as a noun phrase such as a város jegyzéke (the city’s register) or egyesületük jegyzéke (their association’s list). The term is typically used in formal, archival, legal, and historical contexts.

In usage, jegyzéke denotes a structured enumeration kept for reference, accountability, or archival purposes. It can name tax rolls, property inventories, rosters of officials or members, lists of rights or obligations, and other items recorded in an official record. The form is especially common in historical charters and public records, where it helps identify who or what is included in a document. In modern Hungarian, jegyzéke is most often encountered in formal or cataloging language, and less so in everyday speech, though it remains a staple in archival descriptions and legal texts.
