Yes, currently labels are hardcided in `dl' as "Something N".  Grep
`dl' for @WordVal to find all the instances.

I'm not sure these belong to the `standard.ld', I feel it's better to
make these into parameters to @DocumentLayout.  Then you can clone
`book' setup and tweak various parameters to suit Hungarian (or
whatever) practice and @SysInclude { hungbook } in your documents.

An additional parameter to @DocumentLayout could be introduced to
remain compatible with old documents (the code is completely
untested):

  def @DocumentLayout
    ...
    named @CaptionLabelFormat left word right number { word number }
    ...
  {
    ...
    def @FigureLabel {
      ...
      @CaptionFormat {
        { figure @WordVal @FigureWord } @CaptionLabelFormat @FigureNumber
      }
    }
    ...


So for Hungarian you'll write in your setup:

    @CaptionLabelFormat { number word }
