Hun   (a form, in earlier  ),, from the   híune, , ‘giant,’ in which sense it is found in the 13th. This word, phonetically identical with Hiune,  Hun, ‘Hun, Hungarian,’ existed in Germany in  names of persons even before the appearance of the Huns. Some etymologists assume, with little probability, that the  Hûno- was the name of the aborigines of Germany. Undoubtedly the North  points rather to a  tribe (Sigfrid in the Eddas is called enn hunske). Numerous compound names of places with  are found in North Germany. Note the names of persons such as ( Hûnbolt).   ,, ‘hunger, famine,’ from the  hunger,  hungar, ;   hungar,  hungor, ,  hunger,  hungr, ;  *huggrus is wanting (it is indicated by huggrjan, ‘to hunger’), but the term hûhrus (for huñhrus, hunhrus), , occurs; common  hunhru-, hungru-, ‘hunger,’ from pre- knkru-?. The gloss, κέγκεϊ πεινᾷ, points to an Aryan root, kenk, konk;  also  kankà, ‘torment,’ with  há,, ‘to torment, pain’ (from  *hanhón).  ,, ‘to abuse,’ only, probably ‘to call one a dog’ (note the formation of , , ); then probably also ‘to treat anyone like a dog.’  ,, from the  hüpfen, hupfen, ‘to hop’;  *hupfen is by chance not recorded; so too  *hyppan, whence  hyppen. to hip. Akin also to and  hopfen,  hoppian,  to hop,  hoppa;  *hupôn, *huppjan, are wanting. dialects besides hoppen, from *hoppôn ( *hubbôn). hoppettan, ‘to hop,’ *hopfzen, , are differently formed.   ,, ‘hurdle,’ from hurt,  hürte and hürde, , ‘hurdle, wickerwork,’  hurt,  hurdi, ;   haúrds, , ‘door,’  hurð, , ‘door’ (this sense is also found in ), likewise ‘wickerwork, hurdle, lid’;  *hyrd,  hyrde,  hyrdel,  hurdle. The meaning ‘door’ is only a development of the general sense ‘wickerwork’'; pre-Tent. krti-. crâtes, κυρτία, ‘wickerwork,’ κύρτη, κύρτος, ‘creel, cage,’  κάρταλος, ‘basket’; allied to the  root kṛt, ‘to spin,’ cṛt, ‘to connect, combine.’   ',, ‘whore,’ from huore,  huora, huorra (from *hôrjô, ?), ;   and  hôre,  whore, with an excrescent w),  hoer,  hóra, , ‘whore’; in  hôrs, , is ‘whoremonger’ (but kalki, , ‘whore’). To these are allied  huor, , ‘adultery, fornication,’  hôr,  hôr, ; probably also  herge, , ‘whore’ ( *harjô)?. The  root hôr- is related to  carus, ‘dear,’  cara, ‘friend,’ and caraim, ‘I love.’ Its connection with  is less probable, although  μοιχός, ‘adulterer.’ is formed from ὀμειχεῖν, ‘mingere.’ In -, too, words with cognate sounds are found in the sense of ‘whore.’  kurŭva,  ( kùrva, ), is perhaps derived from the  word.  ', , ‘hurrah!’ from  hurrâ,  (allied to  hurren, ‘to move quickly’). , , ‘quick, prompt, speedy,’ from  hurtec, hurteclîch, ‘quick,’  ‘dashing violently against’; Mid. hurt, and, ‘coming into violent collision, impact,’ is said to be borrowed from  heurt ( urto), ‘thrust,’ which again is derived from  hwrdh, ‘thrust.’ Yet  may be regarded as a genuine  word, allied to  rado,  hrœd, ‘quick,’ with which  horskr, ‘quick,’ is also connected.  ,, ‘hussar,’ only (from the 16th ); final source Hungarian huszár.  ,, ‘hush! quick!’ from husch (but used only as an  to express a feeling of cold); hence.  ,, ‘cough,’ from the  huoste,  huosto, , from an earlier *hwôsto with the loss of the w (  and Swiss wuešte with the w retained and the h before it suppressed);   hoest,  hwôsta, ,   whoost,  hóste (for *hvóste), , ‘cough.’ The verbal stem hwôs was retained in the    ( hweós), beside which a   hwêsan,  wheeze, occurs. root hwôs ( *hwôs-ta), from pre- kwôs, kâs, corresponds to the root kâs, ‘to cough,’  kósiu (kóseli), ‘to cough,’  kašĭlĭ,, ‘cough.’    (1),, ‘hat,’ from and  huot ( huotes), , ‘hat, cap,<section end="Hut" />
