Hoc huckstere, huckster; probably akin to, ‘to squat.’  ,, ‘to crouch, squat,’ first recorded in ; it is, however, an archaic word, as is shown by the prevalence of the root hū̆k, hukk;  hûchen, ‘to duck, crouch,’  húka (with a   hokenn), ‘to crouch,’  huiken. hokra, ‘to crawl,’ is probably not connected with this word, but with.  ,, ‘hump,’ from hocker, hogger, hoger, , ‘hump, humpback’; a  peculiar to , formed from an  hogga-, ‘hump-backed,’ and based on  hovar,  hover, ‘humpback,’  hofer (  kuprà, , ‘humpback, hump’); hogga- represents hubga,  kubja (for kubjha?), ‘humpbacked’;   κυφός, ‘bent, bowed, stooping,’ for κυφφό-ς, kubghás?.   ,, ‘testicle,’ from the  hode,  hodo, ;   hode, and in  hotha, ‘testicle.’ Of obscure origin; perhaps allied to  côleus, ‘scrotum,’ if it stands for *côtleus?.   ,, ‘yard, courtyard, manor, court,’ from the  and  hof (hoves), ;   and  hof, ,  hof,  (obsolete at the end of the  period); in West  ‘courtyard, farm, garden (thus in  and ), (prince's) palace,’  also ‘circle, district, globe.’  hof,  (the same gender as in ), ‘temple with a roof,’ later also (under  influence) ‘palace, courtyard.’  *hufa-,  and , is curiously wanting. Since the cognates are based upon pre- kúpo, they cannot be allied to κῆπος, ‘garden,’  campus.   ,, ‘haughtiness, arrogance,’ from hôchvart, , ‘living in high style, magnanimity, splendour, magnificence, haughtiness’; from hôch and vart;  varn, ‘to live,’ as in.  ,, from  , hoffen, ‘to hope,’ which is not yet used, however, by the classicists of the  period (they employ the term gedingen,  , with which gedinge, ‘hope,’ is connected;  gidingen and gidingo); it is also unknown to. In, on the other hand, a corresponding tô-hopa, ‘hope,’ is found. The appears earliest in ;  tôhopa, ‘hope,’  hopian,  to  to hope. At a later period hopen and  hopen occur. Not until the latter half of the 13th does  hoffen become more prevalent, after its solitary occurrence since 1150 A.D. It is usually considered as a  loan-word. For the early history of the word the corresponding abstract hyht, ‘hope,’ is significant, since it shows that  hopôn represents *huqôn (Aryan root kug). Its connection with cupio is scarcely possible. ,, ‘to court, flatter,’ from hovieren, ‘to make a display, serve, pay court to, be courteous, serenade’; from  , with a  suffix.  ,, ‘courtly, flattering, fawning,’ from hövesch, , ‘courtly, accomplished’; allied to.   ,, ‘height, summit, elevation,’ from hœhe,  hôhî, ;   hauhei, , ‘height.’  ,, ‘hollow, concave,’ from the  and  hol, ;   hol, ‘hollow,’  hol,  holr, , ‘hollow’;  hole is an  used as a , so too , , and  hol, ‘cave.’ The relation of these cognates, which point to  *hula-, ‘hollow,’ to the   holh,  hollow, has not been explained. The word is usually connected with the root hel (in ), ‘to conceal by covering’; hulundi,,  the hiding place, ‘cave.’  ,, ‘cavity, cave, burrow,’ from hüle,  holî, , ‘excavation, cave’; allied to. <section end="Höhle" /> <section begin="Hohn" /> ,, ‘scorn, scoffing,’ from (very rare), hôn, ,  (very rare), hôna, , ‘scorn, mockery, ignominy’; a   formed from an old ,  *hôn, represented by hôni, ‘despised, ignominious, base,’  hauns, ‘base,’  heán (obsolete in the beginning of the  period), ‘base, miserable, ignominious.’ With this is connected the  , from  hœnen,  hônen,  , ‘to abuse’;   haunjan, ‘to degrade,’ to which hauneins, ‘humility,’ is allied;  hŷnan, ‘to degrade, humble’ (from the    honnir, ‘to cover with disgrace,’ and honte, ‘disgrace,’ are derived). It corresponds in the non- language to kauns, ‘shame, ignominy, disgrace,’  kuveti-s, ‘to be ashamed’; hence  hauns. ‘humble, base,’ can hardly have originated in the sensuous meaning ‘base.’ <section end="Hohn" /> <section begin="Höker" /> , see. <section end="Höker" />
