one of my favorite finds in undergrad was a hungarian textbook written in finnish, learned a good amount of hungarian grammar and it was nice to have a structurally similar language describing it.
Photo of cover: Márta Csepregi's Unkarin Kielioppipage describing possessive suffixes and case suffix ordering, which differ between Finnish and Hungarian. The page gives examples in both languages and does a little comparative description of Finnish having the structurally original ordering (stem+case+possessive), and Hungarian having multiple orderings (stem+possessive+case, stem+case+possessive) due to newly developed cases coming from postpositions; noting that the original ordering is still present in some places in Hungarian.

The topic would take more effort to explain for a grammar not aimed at Finnish speakers.Page introing the possessive suffixes of Hungarian, starts out: "In Hungarian, the same as in Finnish..." There is also a tiny note at the top of the page explaining the possessive construction with barely any words

love how the bluesky android photo editor which has an icon for rotating an image 90 degrees can only flip between two 90 degree choices, so the orientation you want to select probably isn't accessible

the etymology of tolkien's word for elephant/elephants, mûmak / mûmakil, is mostly unknown within tolkien's own writing (and the plural formation is not described), but the plural consonant sequence m-m-k-l came to mind while listening to peter schrijver talk about the origin of camel

now slowly reading tocharian, i'm wondering if the choice to write "tākacer mant" as <tā ka ce rma-nt⸜> instead of <tā ka cer⸜ ma-nt⸜> is phonological. same text also has <tā ka cer⸜>, not joined to the following word, and two instances of "stām ñor" as <stā mño-r⸜> 'under the tree' (stām is 'tree')

Latin and Ancient Greek may no longer be taught, schools with such courses required to shift curriculum to other less commonly taught ancient languages like Tocharian, Etruscan, Sumerian, and Vedic Sanskrit
