hakspek /hak'speek/ n.   A shorthand method of spelling found on    many British academic bulletin boards and {talker system}s.    Syllables and whole words in a sentence are replaced by single ASCII    characters the names of which are phonetically similar or    equivalent, while multiple letters are usually dropped.   Hence,    `for' becomes `4'; `two', `too', and `to' become `2'; `ck' becomes    `k'.   "Before I see you tomorrow" becomes "b4 i c u 2moro".   First    appeared in London about 1986, and was probably caused by the    slowness of available talker systems, which operated on archaic    machines with outdated operating systems and no standard methods of    communication.   Has become rarer since.   See also {talk mode}.

hash bucket n.   A notional receptacle, a set of which might be    used to apportion data items for sorting or lookup purposes.   When    you look up a name in the phone book (for example), you typically    hash it by extracting its first letter; the hash buckets are the    alphabetically ordered letter sections.   This term is used as    techspeak with respect to code that uses actual hash functions; in    jargon, it is used for human associative memory as well.   Thus, two    things `in the same hash bucket' are more difficult to discriminate,    and may be confused.   "If you hash English words only by length, you    get too many common grammar words in the first couple of hash    buckets." Compare {hash collision}.

Haggai, Book of       consists of two brief, comprehensive chapters.

Chapter second contains,                (1.) The second prophecy (1-9), which was delivered a month       after the first.                (2.) The third prophecy (10-19), delivered two months and       three days after the second; and                (3.)
