I apologise if I said anything that might be construed as offensive. But
I have already presented my arguments and you have not refuted them.
Modern Hungarian words with /CerC/ regularly correspond to Slavic
prototypes with *CerC > *Cer&C, *Cre^C (or whatever the dialectal
outcome of the metathesis in Pannonian Slavic). An older form with two
vowels may be accidentally preserved (as <szereda> is, as a placename
element), but its absence from Modern Hungarian in no way constitutes a
refutation of the Slavic origin of the word in question.
