Hei, snug, from  heim(e)lich, , ‘secret, confidential, concealed,’ also ‘homemade, domestic’; allied to.  ,, from the  and  hîrât,  and , ‘marriage,’  ‘care of a house’;  *heiws, ‘house,’ in heiwa-frauja, , ‘master of the house.’ The earlier  form  is due to  *hîa-rât for hîw-. hîrêd, hîrĕd, ‘family,’ hîred, and  hîwrœ̂den,  hîreden in the same sense. The first component, heiwa-, is widely diffused in   hjú, hjún, , ‘man and wife, married couple, domestics,’  hyske, , ‘family,’ híbýle, hýbýle, , ‘place of residence.’  hîwan, , ‘servants,’  hind ( hive, which is often connected with the cognates in question, is not allied, since it is due to  hŷf, ‘beehive’). hyske,, corresponds to the West terms,  hîwiski, , ‘family, housekeeping, domestics,’ also  hîun, , ‘man and wife, servants,’ hîwo, ‘husband,’ hîwa, ‘wife.’  heiwa-, ‘house, housekeeping,’ has consequently numerous cognates within the  group. Its relation to the non- words is dubious; civis, ‘citizen,’  szeima, szeimýna, ‘domestics,’  sěmĭja, sěmija, ‘domestics,’ are usually connected with it. Others refer it to the root appearing in. See.  ,, ‘to ask for, demand, require,’ from heischen,  eischen,  eiskôn, ‘to ask’; the addition of initial h in the  and  verbs is correctly ascribed to the influence of. êscôn, eischen,  âscian,  to ask;  *aiskôn is wanting. It corresponds to jëskóti,  iskati, ‘to seek,’ also probably to  aiç, ‘investigation,’ and  icch (icchati), ‘to seek’ (see ). ,, ‘hoarse,’ from heiser, ‘rough, hoarse.’ with the variant  heis, heise,  heisi, heis, ‘hoarse’;  *haisa- is also indicated by  hâs; in  besides hǫ̂se, an abnormal hǫ̂rse occurs, whence  hoarse; so too  heersch, a variant of heesch (the latter also ); the r of the  and  derivative  is the widely diffused  suffix in , , , , &c. The háss, for the expected *heiss ( *hais), also presents a difficulty. Some have attempted to connect the stem with that in, which is impossible; hôs, hwôs, in , cannot, on account of the vowels, correspond to  *haisa. Others, with greater reason, connect it with to whistle,  hwistlian, and with , ‘to whisper’ (the  root hais, hwī̆s, appears with a derivative k in  hwîskrian,  hvískra, ‘to whisper,’  heesch, ‘hoarse’).  ,, ‘beech tree,’ a and  word, which also appears in , but is entirely unknown to  and ; even in the  period heister occurs;   heester (whence  hêtre). Note the local term.   ,, ‘hot, ardent, vehement,’ from the  and  heiȥ;   heet,  hât,  hot,  heitr; a common   for ‘hot,’ pointing to  *haita-; from the root hī̆t, to which  is akin. This root may be extended from hī̆, with which an  hei, gehei, ‘heat’ is connected. See.   ,, ‘to bid, command, be called, signify,’ from heiȥen,  heiȥȥan, ‘to name, be named, be called, command, promise’; the passive sense, ‘to be named, nominari,’ did not  belong to the active, but only to the  and  passive form. hâtan, ‘to name, promise,’ hâtte, ‘I am called’ and ‘I was called’; heita, ‘to name, be named, promise, vow’;  haitan, a , ‘to name, appoint, call, invite, command,’ in the pass. ‘to be named.’ A common  with the  sense ‘to call any one by name, to name,’ No words undoubtedly allied to the  root hait, from pre- kaid, exist in the non- languages. See.   , suffix of abstract terms in the West  dialects;  an independent word —  heit,, ‘method, nature,’  heit,  and , ‘person, sex, rank, estate,’  hâd, ‘estate, race, method, quality’;  haidus, , ‘method’; see further under. As an independent word it became obsolete in in the  period, and was preserved only as a suffix, as in ;  -hâd,  -hood (boyhood, falsehood, maidenhood), and also  -head (maidenhead).  ,, ‘clear, serene, bright, cheerful,’ from heiter,  heitar, , ‘serene, bright, glittering’;   hêdar,  hâdor, ‘serene’; a West  , but in  heiþ-r, ‘serene,’ without the derivative r (all used  of
