Heu ,, ‘to-day,’ from the  hiute,  hiutu;   hiudu, hiudiga (whence  heódœg),  hiudega, ‘to-day’; a West   for  *hiô daga, ‘on this day,’ with the accent on the , which resulted in the combination of the two words. In the same way *hiutagu became hiutgu, hiuttu, and was finally shortened into hiutu ( the similar origin of ). Farther, ho-die and  σ-ήμερον are similarly compounded. Likewise for, ‘to-night,’ and  had a parallel ;   hî-naht ( hînet), ‘to-night’ (in  and  heint is used for ‘to-day’). The stem hi- contained in it appears in  in a few cases, and indeed as a temporal, ‘this’;  himma daga, ‘to-day,’ and hina dag, ‘until to-day,’ &c. In the  this  stem, which corresponds to  ci- in ci-s, ci-tra, appears as a 3rd  ;   he,  hê,  him,  him ( himma), &c.,  and  hê, ‘he.’ See further,.  ,, ‘witch, hag, sorceress,’ from hęcse, ,  hagzissa, hagazussa, hagzus (also hâzus, hâzissa), , a gloss for furia, striga, eumenis, erinnys;   haghetisse,  heks,  hœgtesse, ,  (with the rejection of the apparent termination) hag. The word, which is doubtlessly a compound, has not yet been satisfactorily explained; hag,  hœg, ‘hedge, wood,’ as the first component, seems indubitable. The second part has not been elucidated; some suppose that the meaning of  is ‘forest woman or demon’?. holzmuoja, holzmuoje,, ‘forest woman, witch’ (also ‘wood-owl’).   ,, ‘cut, stroke, blow; sarcasm,’ first recorded in the 17th , being recently formed from , , ;   from  and  from. —   , see.  ', also ',, from the  hier, hie,  hiar, ‘here’;  , , , and  hêr,  to  here. Allied to hi- (see )?.  ', also ' (a corruption due to the fact that the horn was carried attached to a belt around the waist — ‘’), ‘hunting-horn,’ simply; the earliest  form is ; ', also ', ‘the blast from a hunter’s  horn.’ Allied to  hiufan,  heófan,  hiufan, ‘to wail, howl’?.   ,, from the  hilfe, hëlfe, ,  hilfa, hëlfa, , ‘help, aid’ ( *hilpi and *hilpa, ). .   ,, ‘raspberry,’ rom the  hintbęr, ,  hint-bęri, ;  ‘hind-, doe-berry.’ With regard to  , with a distinct second component (in , however, hemper, from hintbere, according to strict phonetic laws), see  , from wintbrâ. In hindberie,, means ‘strawberry’ and ‘raspberry’;    hindberries, ‘raspberries’ (note too  hindhœ̂leþe, ‘ambrosia,’  hirz-wurz,  heortclœ̂fre, ‘camedus,’  ‘hemp agrimony’). In earlier there existed a term, from  hintlouf, ‘a plant growing on the hind's track,’ i.e., along forest paths, which was applied to the common chicory.   ,, ‘heaven, sky, canopy, clime,’ from the  himel,  himil ( humil, ;   himil,  himul,  hemel,  and  himmel; the derivative l is the result of differentiation from an earlier derivative n, formed like  himins,  himenn, with which the  forms with f for m are connected;  heofon, ,  heaven,  heƀan, ,  heven. These forms are based upon a common  hemono- (humeno-); on account of its derivative suffix, note too  οὐρανό. The  sense, ‘sky’ is current in all the  ; the word is probably connected with the  stem ham, ‘to cover, veil,’ mentioned under , , and .  himil has also the meaning ‘ceiling,’ especially in the  derivative himilizzi,  himelze, a fact which supports the last assumption;   hûsheofon,  hemel,  hemelte, ‘roof.’ The etymology of  ( himins), based upon  kamy,  akmŭ, ‘stone,’ as well as upon  açmâ, ‘stone, (the stone-roofed) vault of heaven,’ and  κάμινος, ‘oven,’ are not satisfactory, since the word probably denoted the ‘covering of the earth’ originally.  ,, ‘hence, that way,’ from hin, hine,  hina, , ‘off, away’;  hina (hin- in compounds, e.g., hinsîþ, ‘departure, death’),  ‘away,’ allied to the  stem hi- discussed under.
