Haa     (1.),, ‘flax,’ from the  har,  haro (  and  harwes), ;  *harwa- ( *harwis) is also implied by  hǫrr ( hǫrve), , ‘flax.’ As to its connection with  (2.) see the latter. Perhaps the word is most closely related to hards (‘refuse of flax, tow’). See.

 (2.),, ‘hair,’ from the  and  hâr, ;  the corresponding  hâr, ,  hœ̂r, ,  hair,  haar; a common  word (in , however, tagl and skuft). The following words are also  allied —  haddr and  heord, ‘hair’ ( *hazda), as well as  cass, ‘curled hair.’ In the non- languages   kosmŭ,, kosa ( kasa), , ‘hair,’ and probably also  čésati, ‘to comb,’  carere, ‘to card wool.’ The more definite relations in sound existing between these words are difficult to determine ( also  κόμη,  coma?). On the other hand, there is no phonetic difficulty in connecting the *hera-, ‘hair,’ with harwa-, deduced under  (1.); the mere possibility is, however, all that can be maintained. also and. — An old derivative of, hœ̂re,  hârâ, hârrâ, , ‘hair shirt, coarse garment,’ found its way into Romance ( haire).   ,, ‘possession; handle,’ from habe,  haba, , ‘goods, possession’;  have, ‘possession’; allied to the following word.  ,, ‘to have, possess,’ from the  haben,  habên; corresponding to  hebbian,  hebben,  habban,  to have,  hafa,  haban; a common   with the stem habai-. Its identity with habere can scarcely be doubted. It is true that h initially requires, according to the laws of substitution, a  g, and  h a  c (, , , and , , and ). Probably habê- and  habai- are based upon an Aryan  form khabhêj; the correspondence between  h and  h is only possible on the assumption of an Aryan kh. On this supposition and  in their etymology are  allied, just as  habere and capere.  , , ‘oats, from the  haber, habere, ,   habaro,. The form first occurs in ; like, it is derived from ;  haƀoro, havoro (now hawer),  haver. Also allied to hafre, hagre, and farther to  kakra, borrowed from. In the word is wanting, but is found a few times in, which, like Northern  (haver), borrowed it from. The term is oats, from  âta (yet Scotch haver occurs even in the  period). In investigating the origin of the cognates, the g in  hagre ( kakra) must be taken into account. The usual derivation from hafr,  hœfer,, ‘he-goat’ ( caper,  κάπρος,  ), is therefore impossible, especially since this word belongs to the dialects in which  is wanting;  too must have been the favourite food of the goat ere it could be thus named. Perhaps κάχρυς, ‘parched barley’ (Aryan base khaghru-), or  avena, ‘oats’ (Aryan base khaghwes), are  allied.   ,, ‘common snipe,’ not found in the earlier periods; in this compound is the only remnant of the old name for a goat ( hœfer,  hafr;  κάπρος,  caper) in ; the bird is so called because at the pairing season it utters high in the air a sound like the distant bleating of a goat. See and.   , (with a dental suffix as in  and, &c.), ‘hawk,’ from the   habich, habech (also hebech, modified), ,  habuh, ; a common  term by chance not recorded in ;   *haƀoc (in the proper names Haƀuchorst, Haƀocasbrôc),  havik,  heafoc,  hawk,  haukr (for *hǫƀukr). The form would be *habaks, with a suffix aks-, as in ahaks, ‘pigeon’ ( also, );  the consonantal suffix in  ὀρτυγ-, ‘quail.’ Against the derivation from the stem hab, haf, in , , ‘to take firm hold of, lay hold of’ there is nothing to object from the  point of view; Italic capus, ‘hawk,’ is certainly derived from the root kap (capio). The cognates,  hebauc,  sebocc, ‘falcon,’ are undoubtedly borrowed from. also.   ,, ‘fellow,’ from hache,
