Even though Hungarian belongs to the Uralic languages, Hungarian shares more than the Indo-European languages with ancient Iranic tongues of which (Indo-Aryan) Sanskrit is but one derivative. These are from the oldest strata of the language indicating that it was learned while the Iranians' ancestors had not yet left eastern Europe for Asia. Even the oldest gathas of the Zend Avesta contain words understandable in Hungarian, while the later gathas become more and more foreign and strange. Some of the shared words however are not really Iranian in origin as claimed today but are loan words into Iranian from the ancient languages of Iran like Elamite and early Dravidian which again share many words with early Uralic languages especially with Hungarian.

kaje sun; kuji moon; kyji month /Mator [fv]

*kuc'e star /Uralic

húgy star [archaic] /Hungarian {/k/ > /h/}

Apparently this archaic word for 'star' has died out in modern Hungarian.

{Hungarian /gy/ sounds like a palatised /d'/}

An interesting aside concerning Assyrian royal ideology, is that the king is often referred to as the "sun" or the "very image" of Shamash (the sun god), and the word "king" was commonly written with the sacred number of the sun god, 20 (twenty). [sp]

While Hungarian húsz '20' apparently has less exalted origins, it is still strikingly similar in form to these curious words. Must be another one of those coincidences.
