"A Kekszakallu Herceg Vara" is what I always believed is the correct title
for "Duke Bluebeard's Castle". There are some accents, which I don't think
can be produced here, but I can mark where the accents shall be:

A' Ke'kszaka'llu' herceg va'ra

Hope this is understandable. I don't understand why the ungarians react as
they do.
