Don't be silly. Hungarian has _lots_ of old Slavic loans taken not from
the modern languages but from the Slavic dialects that were in contact
with the Magyars during the early Middle Ages. They were _descendants_
of PSl. in the same way that modern Czech and Slovak are. They were
engulfed and replaced by Hungarian.
