               him in a conquered state; but it has long since lost
               this independent significance, and is used with the
               participles both of transitive and intransitive verbs
               as a device for expressing past time. Had is used,

            another conductor or the earth, or to a break in the

      2. (Geol. & Mining) A dislocation caused by a slipping of
            rock masses along a plane of facture; also, the dislocated
            structure resulting from such slipping.
  
      Note: The surface along which the dislocated masses have
               moved is called the
  
      {fault plane}. When this plane is vertical, the fault is a
  
      {vertical fault}; when its inclination is such that the
            present relative position of the two masses could have
            been produced by the sliding down, along the fault plane,
            of the mass on its upper side, the fault is a
  
      {normal}, [or] {gravity}, {fault}. When the fault plane is so
            inclined that the mass on its upper side has moved up
            relatively, the fault is then called a
  
      {reverse} (or {reversed}), {thrust}, or {overthrust},
      {fault}. If no vertical displacement has resulted, the fault
            is then called a
  
      {horizontal fault}. The linear extent of the dislocation
            measured on the fault plane and in the direction of
            movement is the
  
      {displacement}; the vertical displacement is the
  
      {throw}; the horizontal displacement is the
  
      {heave}. The direction of the line of intersection of the
            fault plane with a horizontal plane is the
  
      {trend} of the fault. A fault is a
  
      {strike fault} when its trend coincides approximately with
            the strike of associated strata (i.e., the line of
            intersection of the plane of the strata with a horizontal
            plane); it is a
  
      {dip fault} when its trend is at right angles to the strike;
            an
  
      {oblique fault} when its trend is oblique to the strike.
            Oblique faults and dip faults are sometimes called
  
      {cross faults}. A series of closely associated parallel
            faults are sometimes called

   heap
  
      1. An area of memory used for {dynamic memory
      allocation} where blocks of memory are allocated and freed in
      an arbitrary order and the pattern of allocation and size of
      blocks is not known until {run time}.   Typically, a program
      has one heap which it may use for several different purposes.
  
      Heap is required by languages in which functions can return
      arbitrary data structures or functions with {free variables}
      (see {closure}).   In {C} functions {malloc} and {free} provide
      access to the heap.
  
      Contrast {stack}.   See also {dangling pointer}.
  
      2. A data structure with its elements partially
      ordered (sorted) such that finding either the minimum or the
      maximum (but not both) of the elements is computationally
      inexpensive (independent of the number of elements), while
      both adding a new item and finding each subsequent
      smallest/largest element can be done in O(log n) time, where n
      is the number of elements.
  
      Formally, a heap is a {binary tree} with a key in each {node},
      such that all the {leaves} of the tree are on two adjacent
      levels; all leaves on the lowest level occur to the left and
      all levels, except possibly the lowest, are filled; and the
      key in the {root} is at least as large as the keys in its
      children (if any), and the left and right subtrees (if they
      exist) are again heaps.
  
      Note that the last condition assumes that the goal is finding
      the minimum quickly.
  
      Heaps are often implemented as one-dimensional {arrays}.
      Still assuming that the goal is finding the minimum quickly
      the {invariant} is
  
            heap[i] <= heap[2*i] and heap[i] <= heap[2*i+1] for all i,
  
      where heap[i] denotes the i-th element, heap[1] being the
      first.   Heaps can be used to implement {priority queues} or in
      {sort} algorithms.

   hop
  
      1. One point-to-point transmission in a series
      required to get a message from point A to point B on a {store
      and forward} network.   On such networks (including {UUCPNET}
      and {FidoNet}), an important inter-machine metric is the hop
      count of the shortest path between them.   This can be more
      significant than their geographical separation.
  
      Each {exclamation mark} in a {bang path} represents one hop.
  
      2. One direct host-to-host connection forming
      part of the route between two hosts in a {routed} {network}
      such as the {Internet}.   Some {protocols} place an upper limit
      on the hop count in order to detect routing loops.
  
      3. To {log in} to a {remote} computer,
      especially via {rlogin} or {telnet}.   "I'll hop over to foovax
      to FTP that."

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Heap
      When Joshua took the city of Ai (Josh. 8), he burned it and
      "made it an heap [Heb. tel] for ever" (8:28). The ruins of this
      city were for a long time sought for in vain. It has been at
      length, however, identified with the mound which simply bears
      the name of "Tel." "There are many Tels in modern Palestine,
      that land of Tels, each Tel with some other name attached to it
      to mark the former site. But the site of Ai has no other name
      'unto this day.' It is simply et-Tel, 'the heap' par
      excellence."
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Hobah
      hiding-place, a place to the north of Damascus, to which Abraham
      pursued Chedorlaomer and his confederates (Gen. 14:15).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Hoof
      a cleft hoof as of neat cattle (Ex. 10:26; Ezek. 32:13); hence
      also of the horse, though not cloven (Isa. 5:28). The "parting
      of the hoof" is one of the distinctions between clean and
      unclean animals (Lev. 11:3; Deut. 14:7).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Hope
      one of the three main elements of Christian character (1 Cor.
      13:13). It is joined to faith and love, and is opposed to seeing
      or possessing (Rom. 8:24; 1 John 3:2). "Hope is an essential and
      fundamental element of Christian life, so essential indeed,
      that, like faith and love, it can itself designate the essence
      of Christianity (1 Pet. 3:15; Heb. 10:23). In it the whole glory
      of the Christian vocation is centred (Eph. 1:18; 4:4)."
      Unbelievers are without this hope (Eph. 2:12; 1 Thess. 4:13).
      Christ is the actual object of the believer's hope, because it
      is in his second coming that the hope of glory will be fulfilled
      (1 Tim. 1:1; Col. 1:27; Titus 2:13). It is spoken of as
      "lively", i.e., a living, hope, a hope not frail and perishable,
      but having a perennial life (1 Pet. 1:3). In Rom. 5:2 the "hope"
      spoken of is probably objective, i.e., "the hope set before us,"
      namely, eternal life (comp. 12:12). In 1 John 3:3 the expression
      "hope in him" ought rather to be, as in the Revised Version,
      "hope on him," i.e., a hope based on God.
