Another request, if you have Abaev.

Could you quote all other Hungarian (and Ossetic) forms (if any)
quoted by Abaev for the list of the words that I published here ?

Are you aware of any other words showing this regional _é_ or _ü_
alternations for Hungarian?

I will check tomorrow this possible regional alternation in
Hungarian _é_ or _ü_ with my Hungarian friends too (hope to obtain
a clear feedback from them).

Thanks again,
Marius
