            berries that turn red or yellow about Michaelmas.
  
      Note: The holly is much used to adorn churches and houses, at
               Christmas time, and hence is associated with scenes of
               good will and rejoicing. It is an evergreen tree, and
               has a finegrained, heavy, white wood. Its bark is used
               as a febrifuge, and the berries are violently purgative
               and emetic. The American holly is the {Ilex opaca}, and
               is found along the coast of the United States, from
               Maine southward. --Gray.

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   HLL /H-L-L/ n.   [High-Level Language (as opposed to assembler)]
   Found primarily in email and news rather than speech.   Rarely, the
   variants `VHLL' and `MLL' are found.   VHLL stands for
   `Very-High-Level Language' and is used to describe a
   {bondage-and-discipline language} that the speaker happens to like;
   Prolog and Backus's FP are often called VHLLs.   `MLL' stands for
   `Medium-Level Language' and is sometimes used half-jokingly to
   describe {C}, alluding to its `structured-assembler' image.   See
   also {languages of choice}.
  
  

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   hole n.   A region in an otherwise {flat} entity which is not
   actually present.   For example, some Unix filesystems can store
   large files with holes so that unused regions of the file are never
   actually stored on disk.   (In techspeak, these are referred to as
   `sparse' files.)   As another example, the region of memory in IBM
   PCs reserved for memory-mapped I/O devices which may not actually be
   present is called `the I/O hole', since memory-management systems
   must skip over this area when filling user requests for memory.

   hole
  
      The absence of an {electron} in a
      {semiconductor} material.   In the {electron model}, a hole can
      be thought of as an incomplete outer electron shell in a
      doping substance.   Holes can also be thought of as positive
      charge carriers; while this is in a sense a fiction, it is a
      useful abstraction.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Hail!
      a salutation expressive of a wish for the welfare of the person
      addressed; the translation of the Greek _Chaire_, "Rejoice"
      (Luke 1:8). Used in mockery in Matt. 27:29.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Hail
      frozen rain-drops; one of the plagues of Egypt (Ex. 9:23). It is
      mentioned by Haggai as a divine judgment (Hag. 2:17). A
      hail-storm destroyed the army of the Amorites when they fought
      against Joshua (Josh. 10:11). Ezekiel represents the wall daubed
      with untempered mortar as destroyed by great hail-stones (Ezek.
      13:11). (See also 38:22; Rev. 8:7; 11:19; 16:21.)

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Halah
      a district of Media to which captive Israelites were transported
      by the Assyrian kings (2 Kings 17:6; 18:11; 1 Chr. 5:26). It lay
      along the banks of the upper Khabur, from its source to its
      junction with the Jerujer. Probably the district called by
      Ptolemy Chalcitis.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Hall
      (Gr. aule, Luke 22:55; R.V., "court"), the open court or
      quadrangle belonging to the high priest's house. In Matt. 26:69
      and Mark 14:66 this word is incorrectly rendered "palace" in the
      Authorized Version, but correctly "court" in the Revised
      Version. In John 10:1,16 it means a "sheep-fold." In Matt. 27:27
      and Mark 15:16 (A.V., "common hall;" R.V., "palace") it refers
      to the proetorium or residence of the Roman governor at
      Jerusalem. The "porch" in Matt. 26:71 is the entrance-hall or
      passage leading into the central court, which is open to the
      sky.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Hallow
      to render sacred, to consecrate (Ex. 28:38; 29:1). This word is
      from the Saxon, and properly means "to make holy." The name of
      God is "hallowed", i.e., is reverenced as holy (Matt. 6:9).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Helah
      rust, (1 Chr. 4:5, 7), one of the wives of Ashur.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Heli
      elevation, father of Joseph in the line of our Lord's ancestry
      (Luke 3:23).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Hell
      derived from the Saxon helan, to cover; hence the covered or the
      invisible place. In Scripture there are three words so rendered:
     
         (1.) Sheol, occurring in the Old Testament sixty-five times.
      This word sheol is derived from a root-word meaning "to ask,"
      "demand;" hence insatiableness (Prov. 30:15, 16). It is rendered
      "grave" thirty-one times (Gen. 37:35; 42:38; 44:29, 31; 1 Sam.
      2:6, etc.). The Revisers have retained this rendering in the
      historical books with the original word in the margin, while in
      the poetical books they have reversed this rule.
     
         In thirty-one cases in the Authorized Version this word is
      rendered "hell," the place of disembodied spirits. The
      inhabitants of sheol are "the congregation of the dead" (Prov.
      21:16). It is (a) the abode of the wicked (Num. 16:33; Job
      24:19; Ps. 9:17; 31:17, etc.); (b) of the good (Ps. 16:10; 30:3;
      49:15; 86:13, etc.).
     
         Sheol is described as deep (Job 11:8), dark (10:21, 22), with
      bars (17:16). The dead "go down" to it (Num. 16:30, 33; Ezek.
      31:15, 16, 17).
     
         (2.) The Greek word hades of the New Testament has the same
      scope of signification as sheol of the Old Testament. It is a
      prison (1 Pet. 3:19), with gates and bars and locks (Matt.
      16:18; Rev. 1:18), and it is downward (Matt. 11:23; Luke 10:15).
     
         The righteous and the wicked are separated. The blessed dead
      are in that part of hades called paradise (Luke 23:43). They are
      also said to be in Abraham's bosom (Luke 16:22).
     
         (3.) Gehenna, in most of its occurrences in the Greek New
      Testament, designates the place of the lost (Matt. 23:33). The
      fearful nature of their condition there is described in various
      figurative expressions (Matt. 8:12; 13:42; 22:13; 25:30; Luke
      16:24, etc.). (See {HINNOM}.)
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Hiel
      life of (i.e., from) God, a native of Bethel, who built (i.e.,
      fortified) Jericho some seven hundred years after its
      destruction by the Israelites. There fell on him for such an act
      the imprecation of Joshua (6:26). He laid the foundation in his
      first-born, and set up the gates in his youngest son (1 Kings
      16:34), i.e., during the progress of the work all his children
      died.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Hill
      (1.) Heb. gib'eah, a curved or rounded hill, such as are common
      to Palestine (Ps. 65:12; 72:3; 114:4, 6).
     
         (2.) Heb. har, properly a mountain range rather than an
      individual eminence (Ex. 24:4, 12, 13, 18; Num. 14:40, 44, 45).
      In Deut. 1:7, Josh. 9:1; 10:40; 11:16, it denotes the elevated
      district of Judah, Benjamin, and Ephraim, which forms the
      watershed between the Mediterranean and the Dead Sea.
     
         (3.) Heb. ma'aleh in 1 Sam. 9:11. Authorized Version "hill" is
      correctly rendered in the Revised Version "ascent."
     
         (4.) In Luke 9:37 the "hill" is the Mount of Transfiguration.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
