Hungarian term or phrase: Peace
I am naming my vizsla, and I'd like to name him "Peace." My previous vizsla was named Pax, and I understand that béké and békét both mean peace. What is the difference between these two words? Békét, when anglicized, would make a better name for a dog.

Béke
Explanation:
Peace is "béke" (no accent on the second e), while "békét" is the accusative case of this noun.

Obviously, I have written the word with a capital B only because, in this case, it is a proper noun.
