Hec hacele, ‘cloak,’ are not allied; they belong rather to a conjectural *hôka,, ‘goat’ ( hêcen, ‘kid,’ from  *hôkein, ; see under ), and hence probably mean ‘hairy garment.’ See also.   ', ',, from the  hęhse,  hahsa, , ‘hock' (especially of horses); the presumable form in  is *hahsi ( *hahsjôs),. Corresponding in sound to kakšýâ,, ‘girth (of a saddle),’ a derivative of kákša-s, , ‘passage for the girths, armpit';  coxa, ‘hip,’ whence the  coxim, ‘squatting,’ from which a meaning similar to that of the  word may be deduced. The signification of the Aryan word fluctuated between ‘armpit, hip, and hock.’ In the  group the following are also allied to  *hahsi,  —  hahsinôn,  hęhsenen, ‘subnervare, to hamstring,’  hôxene,  houghsene,  hôxene, ‘hock.’   ,, ‘pike,’ from the  hęchet, hęcht,  hęhhit, hahhit, ;   hacud,  hacod, hœced, , ‘pike’; a West  word connected with  and  hęcken, ‘to pierce,’ mentioned under. On account of its pointed teeth the pike is called the ‘piercer.’  pike,  brochet, ‘pike,’ from broche, ‘spit,’  gedda, ‘pike,’ allied to gaddr, ‘prickle.’    (1.),, ‘hedge,’ from hęcke, ,  hęcka, hęgga, , ‘hedge,’ the latter from hagjô-, whence also  heęg, ,  hegge,  hedge;  also hege, , ‘hedge' (  haybote, ‘an allowance of wood for repairing fences'). Of the same origin as the cognates mentioned under.

 (2.)., ‘the act of breeding,’ simply, probably neither identical nor even cognate with  (1), ‘hedge,’ because  hedge, ‘ (1),’ and hatch, ‘ (2).’ are totally distinct; the former is  hegge ( hęcg,  ’), the latter  hacche ( *hœcce?);  hatch, ‘brood, incubation.’  has a  , hęcken, ‘to propagate’ (of birds),  hacchen,  to hatch;  hęgidruosa,  hęgedruose, , ‘testicle,’ may be cognate (g in  hagan, ‘gignalia,’ in comparison with the earlier kk in  hacche, is conceivable), and hence too  hagen, , ‘bull kept for breeding,’ earlier  , ‘boar kept for  breeding.’ The cognates seem to indicate a  root hag, hakk, ‘to propagate.’   ,, ‘tow,’ simply, from  heede, formed from  by suppressing the r (see );   herde, ‘flax fibre,’  heorde, , ‘refuse of flax, tow,’  hards. Are heord and  haddr, ‘hair,’ allied? For (probably  *hazdô, *hazdjó)  has.   ,, ‘hedge-mustard, ground ivy,’ from late hederī̆ch, , a corruption of  (glecoma) hederacea.   ,, from the  hęre,  hęri, hari, , ‘army’;   harjis, ,  hęre, ,  herr, ; a common  word for ‘army,’ still current in  and  här,  heer- in compounds. hęre was supplanted in the period by the  army; yet  hęre-gcatwe, ‘military equipment or trappings,’ has been retained down to  as heriot; similarly the  word for har-bour. The term chario-, ‘army,’ met with in proper names of the Roman period, corresponds to  cuire, ‘troop,’  karjis, ‘army,’ of which  káras, ‘war,’ is the base (,  ‘that which belongs to war’); to this  kâra, ‘army,’ is allied?. In and earlier  there is another  of the root kar, viz. harst, also harsch, ‘body of troops.’ The verbal form from the assumed word for ‘war' was perhaps  *harjón, ‘to wage war upon’;   herja, ‘to go on a predatory expedition,’  hęrigan. to hurry, to harrow, heriôn,  hern, ‘to ravage, plunder.’  further  and.   ,, ‘yeast, lees, dregs,’ from hęve, hëpfe,  and ,  hęvo, hëpfo,  (from hëppo, hafjo, ‘yeast’); as a substance producing fermentation it is derived from the root haf,  ‘raising'; hence also  hęvilo,  hęvel, ‘yeast,’ as well as  hœf,  hef, heffe, , ‘yeast’ (see ). Similarly levain, levûre, are related to lever. Yet hëpfo can scarcely be referred to the Aryan root kap, ‘to raise.’ <section end="Hefe" /> <section begin="Heft" /> , ‘handle, hilt, stitched book, number (of a periodical),’ from hęfte,  hefti, ‘haft, handle of a knife, hilt of a sword’; connected with the root haf ('to lift') or hab ('to have'). — <section end="Heft" /> ,, ‘to stitch,’ from and  heften, ‘to fasten.’
