Hi! I’ve been adding etymologies to Budapest streets, checking the progress on the site, but I find it annoying that streets with unknown etymologies look the same as streets that are known to named after non-human things, so I have to click on them to see if they already have etymologies – it’s not always apparent, e.g. it seemed obvious that Attila út is named after a male person (Attila is a commonly used male given name in Hungary), but it turned out it’s named after an inn (at least according to its Wikipedia article), so it’ll never turn yellow. Especially in old towns, streets named after neighboring towns (probably streets named after city gates named after neighboring towns) and streets named after notable buildings in the street are quite common.
As a visitor, I’d also appreciate if I knew whether “3.81% have been found to be named after a person” means that 96.19% haven’t been surveyed yet or that 96.19% are named after non-humans. (Of course, the reality is a mix of the two, the question is what the ratio is.)
Could streets named after non-humans also get a non-gray color, for example plain black (#000), so that gray really means “we don’t know”? Could they also separated in the summary, for example using the wording “Out of N streetnames, K (X%) have been found to be named after a person; M (Y%) are known to be named after non-persons”? Thanks in advance!
