Hir  mentioned under, be closely related to , ‘skull.’   , (in  and  occurs a variant, whence the  proper name ), ‘stag, hart,’ from  hirȥ, hirz, ,  hiruȥ, hirȥ, hirz; the sch in  is from an older. Corresponding to hert,,  heorot, heort, ,  hart,  hjǫrtr;  *herut-, from *herwut, *herwo-t, with a dental suffix, allied to  cervu-s (t occurs as a suffix in names of animals in ;  , , and ); the latter is usually connected with  κεραός. ‘horned’ (allied to κέρας ; ). Hence the stag in and  may have been named from its antlers (the  languages naturally have a distinct word for the hornless female; see ). A more prevalent term is Aryan eln-, in ἔλαφος,  eln,  élnis,  jelenĭ (also  elain, ‘hind’.   ',  (older  and even yet,  ), ‘millet,’ from the   hirse, hirs,  hirsi, hirso, ;  a  word merely, which, however, in modern times has spread to the north ( and  hirse,  hirs). Allied to  cirrus, ‘a tuft (of hair, &c.)’?.   ',  (a strictly  form compared with the   ), ‘herdsman, shepherd, pastor,’ from  hirte,  hirti;   hirdi,  hyrde (and heorde, connected with heord, ‘herd’), ‘herdsman,’ still found in  shepherd (sceâphyrde in ),  hirðer,  haírdeis, , ‘herdsman’; derived by the addition of ja- from  herdô-, ‘herd.’ Hence  is  ‘he that belongs to the herd.’ Another derivative is exhibited by  and  herder, ,  hërtœ̂re, ‘herdsman,’  ‘herder,’ whence  as a proper name. With this word kèrdżus, skèrdżus, ‘herdsman,’ is also connected?.  ,, ‘to hoist,’ only, derived as a  term from the   hissen;   hijschen,  to hoist,  hissa. Among which of the maritime Teutons this technical tern, the etymology of which is still obscure, originated is not known; see (2); it also found its way into  ( hisser).  ,, goat ( , , and without mutation Swiss and  ), a pet term for  hatele,  ‘goat’;  the   haðna as well as.   ,, ‘heat, ardour, passion,’ from the  hitze,  hizza,  (for *hitja, the  form);   hitte, hette,  hite, , ‘heat’; all formed by the weakest stage of gradation from the stem of the   ( root hī̆t, hait, ‘hot’). hizza was adopted by (  izza, ‘anger, indignation’).   , , ‘plane,’ rom the  (rare) hobel, hovel, ;   hövel,  hyfvel. hefill,, ‘plane,’ proves nothing for the wrongly assumed connection with. Its relation to hovar,  hofer, ‘hump, boss,’ is also dubious.  ,, ‘high, lofty, proud, dear,’ from the  hôch,  hôh, ; a common   with the meaning ‘high’;   hauhs,  hár (for hauhr),  heáh,  high,  hoog,  hôh;  hauha-, from the uupermutated pre- káuko- (the weakest vowel stage of the stem is exhibited by the cognate ). possessed a and   formed from the  in the sense of ‘hill’ (type kaukó-s);   haugr (from which  how in proper names was borrowed),  houc (-ges), to which such proper names as  are akin. hiuhma,, ‘heap, crowd,’ seems also allied. In the non- languages it is rightly compared with kaukará, ‘hill, height,’ kaúkas, ‘boil’ ( hübel,, ‘hill,’ is connected with  kùpstas, ‘tump,’ as well as to  hofar,  hofer, ‘hump’).  ,, ‘wedding,’ from hôchzît (also hôchgezit),  and , ‘a great ecclesiastical or lay feast,’ then also ‘wedding feast.’ <section end="Hochzeit" /> <section begin="Hocke" />  (1.), ‘shock (of corn), cock (of hay),’ first occurs in, perhaps from ; yet ( and ) hock, , ‘cock.’ Perhaps allied to  and  (root kuk);  kúgis, ‘cock,’ points, however, to a different root. In West a cognate term with a prefix s appears —  schocke, schoche, ‘cock,’  shock, and the   schokke. With regard to the prefix s, , and.

 (2.),, ‘huckster,’ hucke, ;  hoke, with a long vowel (hence  , , &c.),  hok, ‘booth’?. heukster, <section end="Hocke" />
