From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Ion \I"on\, n.
      1. One of the electrified particles into which, according to
            the electrolytic dissociation theory, the molecules of
            electrolytes are divided by water and other solvents. An
            ion consists of one or more atoms and carries a unit
            charge of electricity, 3.4 x 10^{-10} electrostatic units,
            or a multiple of this. Those which are positively
            electrified (hydrogen and the metals) are called
            {cations}; negative ions (hydroxyl and acidic atoms or
            groups) are called {anions}.
  
      Note: Thus, hydrochloric acid ({HCl}) dissociates, in aqueous
               solution, into the hydrogen ion, H^{+}, and the
               chlorine ion, Cl^{-}; ferric nitrate, {Fe(NO3)3},
               yields the ferric ion, Fe^{+++}, and nitrate ions,
               NO3^{-}, NO3^{-}, NO3^{-}. When a solution containing
               ions is made part of an electric circuit, the cations
               move toward the cathode, the anions toward the anode.
               This movement is called migration, and the velocity of
               it differs for different kinds of ions. If the
               electromotive force is sufficient, electrolysis ensues:
               cations give up their charge at the cathode and
               separate in metallic form or decompose water, forming
               hydrogen and alkali; similarly, at the anode the
               element of the anion separates, or the metal of the
               anode is dissolved, or decomposition occurs.
  
      2. One of the small electrified particles into which the
            molecules of a gas are broken up under the action of the
            electric current, of ultraviolet and certain other rays,
            and of high temperatures. To the properties and behavior
            of ions the phenomena of the electric discharge through
            rarefied gases and many other important effects are
            ascribed. At low pressures the negative ions appear to be
            electrons; the positive ions, atoms minus an electron. At
            ordinary pressures each ion seems to include also a number
            of attached molecules. Ions may be formed in a gas in
            various ways.

      4. That which possesses or exemplifies characteristic
            qualities; the representative. Specifically:
            (a) (Biol.) A general form or structure common to a number
                  of individuals; hence, the ideal representation of a
                  species, genus, or other group, combining the
                  essential characteristics; an animal or plant
                  possessing or exemplifying the essential
                  characteristics of a species, genus, or other group.
                  Also, a group or division of animals having a certain
                  typical or characteristic structure of body maintained
                  within the group.
  
                           Since the time of Cuvier and Baer . . . the
                           whole animal kingdom has been universally held
                           to be divisible into a small number of main
                           divisions or types.                     --Haeckel.
            (b) (Fine Arts) The original object, or class of objects,
                  scene, face, or conception, which becomes the subject

                  a coin.
            (c) (Chem.) A simple compound, used as a mode or pattern
                  to which other compounds are conveniently regarded as
                  being related, and from which they may be actually or
                  theoretically derived.
  
      Note: The fundamental types used to express the simplest and
               most essential chemical relations are hydrochloric
               acid, {HCl}; water, {H2O}; ammonia, {NH3}; and methane,
               {CH4}.
  
      5. (Typog.)
            (a) A raised letter, figure, accent, or other character,
                  cast in metal or cut in wood, used in printing.
            (b) Such letters or characters, in general, or the whole
                  quantity of them used in printing, spoken of
                  collectively; any number or mass of such letters or
                  characters, however disposed.
  
      Note: Type are mostly made by casting type metal in a mold,
               though some of the larger sizes are made from maple,
               mahogany, or boxwood. In the cut, a is the body; b, the
               face, or part from which the impression is taken; c,
               the shoulder, or top of the body; d, the nick
               (sometimes two or more are made), designed to assist
               the compositor in distinguishing the bottom of the face
               from the top; e, the groove made in the process of
               finishing, -- each type as cast having attached to the
               bottom of the body a jet, or small piece of metal
               (formed by the surplus metal poured into the mold),
               which, when broken off, leaves a roughness that
               requires to be removed. The fine lines at the top and
               bottom of a letter are technically called ceriphs, and
               when part of the face projects over the body, as in the
               letter f, the projection is called a kern. The type
               which compose an ordinary book font consist of Roman
               CAPITALS, small capitals, and lower-case letters, and
               Italic CAPITALS and lower-case letters, with
               accompanying figures, points, and reference marks, --
               in all about two hundred characters. Including the
               various modern styles of fancy type, some three or four
               hundred varieties of face are made. Besides the
               ordinary Roman and Italic, some of the most important
               of the varieties are -- Old English. Black Letter. Old
               Style. French Elzevir. Boldface. Antique. Clarendon.
               Gothic. Typewriter. Script. The smallest body in common
               use is diamond; then follow in order of size, pearl,
               agate, nonpareil, minion, brevier, bourgeois (or
               two-line diamond), long primer (or two-line pearl),
               small pica (or two-line agate), pica (or two-line
               nonpareil), English (or two-line minion), Columbian (or
               two-line brevier), great primer (two-line bourgeois),
               paragon (or two-line long primer), double small pica
               (or two-line small pica), double pica (or two-line
               pica), double English (or two-line English), double
               great primer (or two-line great primer), double paragon
               (or two-line paragon), canon (or two-line double pica).
               Above this, the sizes are called five-line pica,
               six-line pica, seven-line pica, and so on, being made
               mostly of wood. The following alphabets show the
               different sizes up to great primer. Brilliant . .

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   highly adv.   [scientific computation] The preferred modifier
   for overstating an understatement.   As in: `highly nonoptimal', the
   worst possible way to do something; `highly nontrivial', either
   impossible or requiring a major research project; `highly
   nonlinear', completely erratic and unpredictable; `highly
   nontechnical', drivel written for {luser}s, oversimplified to the
   point of being misleading or incorrect (compare {drool-proof
   paper}).   In other computing cultures, postfixing of {in the
   extreme} might be preferred.
  
  

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   Haskell
  
      (Named after the logician {Haskell Curry}) A {lazy}
      {purely functional} language largely derived from {Miranda}
      but with several extensions.   Haskell was designed by a
      committee from the {functional programming} community in April
      1990.   It features static {polymorphic} typing, {higher-order
      function}s, user-defined {algebraic data type}s, and
      {pattern-matching} {list comprehension}s.   Innovations include
      a {class} system, systematic operator {overloading}, a
      {functional I/O} system, functional {arrays}, and {separate
      compilation}.
  
      Haskell 1.3 added many new features, including {monadic I/O},
      standard libraries, {constructor classes}, {labeled fields} in
      datatypes, {strictness} {annotations}, an improved {module}
      system, and many changes to the Prelude.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Hachilah
      the darksome hill, one of the peaks of the long ridge of
      el-Kolah, running out of the Ziph plateau, "on the south of
      Jeshimon" (i.e., of the "waste"), the district to which one
      looks down from the plateau of Ziph (1 Sam. 23:19). After his
      reconciliation with Saul at Engedi (24:1-8), David returned to
      Hachilah, where he had fixed his quarters. The Ziphites
      treacherously informed Saul of this, and he immediately (26:1-4)
      renewed his pursuit of David, and "pitched in the hill of
      Hachilah." David and his nephew Abishai stole at night into the
      midst of Saul's camp, when they were all asleep, and noiselessly
      removed the royal spear and the cruse from the side of the king,
      and then, crossing the intervening valley to the height on the
      other side, David cried to the people, and thus awoke the
      sleepers. He then addressed Saul, who recognized his voice, and
      expostulated with him. Saul professed to be penitent; but David
      could not put confidence in him, and he now sought refuge at
      Ziklag. David and Saul never afterwards met. (1 Sam. 26:13-25).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Hazael
      whom God beholds, an officer of Ben-hadad II., king of Syria,
      who ultimately came to the throne, according to the word of the
      Lord to Elijah (1 Kings 19:15), after he had put the king to
      death (2 Kings 8:15). His interview with Elisha is mentioned in
      2 Kings 8. The Assyrians soon after his accession to the throne
      came against him and defeated him with very great loss; and
      three years afterwards again invaded Syria, but on this occasion
      Hazael submitted to them. He then turned his arms against
      Israel, and ravaged "all the land of Gilead," etc. (2 Kings
      10:33), which he held in a degree of subjection to him (13:3-7,
      22). He aimed at the subjugation also of the kingdom of Judah,
      when Joash obtained peace by giving him "all the gold that was
      found in the treasures of the house of the Lord, and in the
      king's house" (2 Kings 12:18; 2 Chr. 24:24). He reigned about
      forty-six years (B.C.886-840), and was succeeded on the throne
      by his son Ben-hadad (2 Kings 13:22-25), who on several
      occasions was defeated by Jehoash, the king of Israel, and
      compelled to restore all the land of Israel his father had
      taken.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Hazel
      Heb. luz, (Gen. 30:37), a nutbearing tree. The Hebrew word is
      rendered in the Vulgate by amygdalinus, "the almond-tree," which
      is probably correct. That tree flourishes in Syria.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Hoglah
      partridge, one of the daughters of Zelophehad the Gileadite, to
      whom portions were assigned by Moses (Num. 26:33; 27:1; 36:11).
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
   Hachaliah, who waits for the Lord
  

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
   Hachilah, my hope is in her
  

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
   Hazael, that sees God
