   Formaldehyde \For*mal"de*hyde\, n. [Formic + aldehyde.] (Chem.)
      A colorless, volatile liquid, {H2CO}, resembling acetic or
      ethyl aldehyde, and chemically intermediate between methyl
      alcohol and formic acid.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Carbonic \Car*bon"ic\, a. [Cf. F. carbonique. See {Carbon}.]
      (Chem.)
      Of, pertaining to, or obtained from, carbon; as, carbonic
      oxide.
  
      {Carbonic acid} (Chem.), an acid {H2CO3}, not existing
            separately, which, combined with positive or basic atoms
            or radicals, forms carbonates. In common language the term
            is very generally applied to a compound of carbon and
            oxygen, {CO2}, more correctly called {carbon dioxide}. It
            is a colorless, heavy, irrespirable gas, extinguishing
            flame, and when breathed destroys life. It can be reduced
            to a liquid and solid form by intense pressure. It is
            produced in the fermentation of liquors, and by the
            combustion and decomposition of organic substances, or
            other substances containing carbon. It is formed in the
            explosion of fire damp in mines, and is hence called
            {after damp}; it is also know as {choke damp}, and
            {mephitic air}. Water will absorb its own volume of it,
            and more than this under pressure, and in this state
            becomes the common soda water of the shops, and the
            carbonated water of natural springs. Combined with lime it
            constitutes limestone, or common marble and chalk. Plants
            imbibe it for their nutrition and growth, the carbon being
            retained and the oxygen given out.
  
      {Carbonic oxide} (Chem.), a colorless gas, {CO}, of a light
            odor, called more correctly {carbon monoxide}. It is
            almost the only definitely known compound in which carbon
            seems to be divalent. It is a product of the incomplete
            combustion of carbon, and is an abundant constituent of
            water gas. It is fatal to animal life, extinguishes
            combustion, and burns with a pale blue flame, forming
            carbon dioxide.

      Note: Have, as an auxiliary verb, is used with the past
               participle to form preterit tenses; as, I have loved; I
               shall have eaten. Originally it was used only with the
               participle of transitive verbs, and denoted the
               possession of the object in the state indicated by the
               participle; as, I have conquered him, I have or hold
               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,
               especially in poetry, for would have or should have.
  
                        Myself for such a face had boldly died.

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   hack   [very common] 1. n. Originally, a quick job that produces
   what is needed, but not well.   2. n. An incredibly good, and perhaps
   very time-consuming, piece of work that produces exactly what is
   needed.   3. vt. To bear emotionally or physically.   "I can't hack
   this heat!"   4. vt. To work on something (typically a program).   In
   an immediate sense: "What are you doing?"   "I'm hacking TECO."   In a
   general (time-extended) sense: "What do you do around here?"   "I
   hack TECO."   More generally, "I hack `foo'" is roughly equivalent to
   "`foo' is my major interest (or project)".   "I hack solid-state
   physics."   See {Hacking X for Y}.   5. vt. To pull a prank on.   See
   sense 2 and {hacker} (sense 5).   6. vi. To interact with a computer
   in a playful and exploratory rather than goal-directed way.
   "Whatcha up to?"   "Oh, just hacking."   7. n. Short for {hacker}.   8.
   See {nethack}.   9. [MIT] v. To explore the basements, roof ledges,
   and steam tunnels of a large, institutional building, to the dismay
   of Physical Plant workers and (since this is usually performed at
   educational institutions) the Campus Police.   This activity has been
   found to be eerily similar to playing adventure games such as
   Dungeons and Dragons and {Zork}.   See also {vadding}.
  
      Constructions on this term abound.   They include `happy hacking'
   (a farewell), `how's hacking?' (a friendly greeting among hackers)
   and `hack, hack' (a fairly content-free but friendly comment, often
   used as a temporary farewell).   For more on this totipotent term see
   "{The Meaning of Hack}".   See also {neat hack}, {real hack}.

   hog n.,vt.   1. Favored term to describe programs or hardware
   that seem to eat far more than their share of a system's resources,
   esp. those which noticeably degrade interactive response.   _Not_
   used of programs that are simply extremely large or complex or that
   are merely painfully slow themselves.   More often than not
   encountered in qualified forms, e.g., `memory hog', `core hog', `hog
   the processor', `hog the disk'.   "A controller that never gives up
   the I/O bus gets killed after the bus-hog timer expires."   2. Also
   said of _people_ who use more than their fair share of resources
   (particularly disk, where it seems that 10% of the people use 90% of
   the disk, no matter how big the disk is or how many people use it).
   Of course, once disk hogs fill up one filesystem, they typically
   find some other new one to infect, claiming to the sysadmin that
   they have an important new project to complete.
  
  

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   hook n.   A software or hardware feature included in order to
   simplify later additions or changes by a user.   For example, a
   simple program that prints numbers might always print them in base
   10, but a more flexible version would let a variable determine what
   base to use; setting the variable to 5 would make the program print
   numbers in base 5.   The variable is a simple hook.   An even more
   flexible program might examine the variable and treat a value of 16
   or less as the base to use, but treat any other number as the
   address of a user-supplied routine for printing a number.   This is a
   {hairy} but powerful hook; one can then write a routine to print
   numbers as Roman numerals, say, or as Hebrew characters, and plug it
   into the program through the hook.   Often the difference between a
   good program and a superb one is that the latter has useful hooks in
   judiciously chosen places.   Both may do the original job about
   equally well, but the one with the hooks is much more flexible for
   future expansion of capabilities ({EMACS}, for example, is _all_
   hooks).   The term `user exit' is synonymous but much more formal and
   less hackish.

   the system."   See {hosed}.   2. n. A narrow channel through which
   data flows under pressure.   Generally denotes data paths that
   represent performance bottlenecks.   3. n. Cabling, especially thick
   Ethernet cable.   This is sometimes called `bit hose' or `hosery'
   (play on `hosiery') or `etherhose'.   See also {washing machine}.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Haggai
      festive, one of the twelve so-called minor prophets. He was the
      first of the three (Zechariah, his contemporary, and Malachi,
      who was about one hundred years later, being the other two)
      whose ministry belonged to the period of Jewish history which
      began after the return from captivity in Babylon. Scarcely
      anything is known of his personal history. He may have been one
      of the captives taken to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar. He began his
      ministry about sixteen years after the Return. The work of
      rebuilding the temple had been put a stop to through the
      intrigues of the Samaritans. After having been suspended for
      fifteen years, the work was resumed through the efforts of
      Haggai and Zechariah (Ezra 6:14), who by their exhortations
      roused the people from their lethargy, and induced them to take
      advantage of the favourable opportunity that had arisen in a
      change in the policy of the Persian government. (See DARIUS
      ¯T0000975 [2].) Haggai's prophecies have thus been
      characterized:, "There is a ponderous and simple dignity in the
      emphatic reiteration addressed alike to every class of the
      community, prince, priest, and people, 'Be strong, be strong, be
      strong' (2:4). 'Cleave, stick fast, to the work you have to do;'
      or again, 'Consider your ways, consider, consider, consider'
      (1:5, 7;2:15, 18). It is the Hebrew phrase for the endeavour,
      characteristic of the gifted seers of all times, to compel their
      hearers to turn the inside of their hearts outwards to their own
      view, to take the mask from off their consciences, to 'see life
      steadily, and to see it wholly.'", Stanley's Jewish Church. (See {SIGNET}.)
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Hawk
      (Heb. netz, a word expressive of strong and rapid flight, and
      hence appropriate to the hawk). It is an unclean bird (Lev.
      11:16; Deut. 14:15). It is common in Syria and surrounding
      countries. The Hebrew word includes various species of
      Falconidae, with special reference perhaps to the kestrel (Falco
      tinnunculus), the hobby (Hypotriorchis subbuteo), and the lesser
      kestrel (Tin, Cenchris). The kestrel remains all the year in
      Palestine, but some ten or twelve other species are all migrants
      from the south. Of those summer visitors to Palestine special
      mention may be made of the Falco sacer and the Falco lanarius.
      (See NIGHT-{HAWK}.)

   Highway
      a raised road for public use. Such roads were not found in
      Palestine; hence the force of the language used to describe the
      return of the captives and the advent of the Messiah (Isa.
      11:16; 35:8; 40:3; 62:10) under the figure of the preparation of
      a grand thoroughfare for their march.
     
         During their possession of Palestine the Romans constructed
      several important highways, as they did in all countries which
      they ruled.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Hiss
      to express contempt (Job 27:23). The destruction of the temple
      is thus spoken of (1 Kings 9:8). Zechariah (10:8) speaks of the
      Lord gathering the house of Judah as it were with a hiss: "I
      will hiss for them." This expression may be "derived from the
      noise made to attract bees in hiving, or from the sound
      naturally made to attract a person's attention."

   Hizkiah

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Hook
      (1.) Heb. hah, a "ring" inserted in the nostrils of animals to
      which a cord was fastened for the purpose of restraining them (2
      Kings 19:28; Isa. 37:28, 29; Ezek. 29:4; 38:4). "The Orientals
      make use of this contrivance for curbing their
      work-beasts...When a beast becomes unruly they have only to draw
      the cord on one side, which, by stopping his breath, punishes
      him so effectually that after a few repetitions he fails not to
      become quite tractable whenever he begins to feel it"
      (Michaelis). So God's agents are never beyond his control.
     
         (2.) Hakkah, a fish "hook" (Job 41:2, Heb. Text, 40:25; Isa.
      19:8; Hab. 1:15).
     
         (3.) Vav, a "peg" on which the curtains of the tabernacle were

   Hosea
      salvation, the son of Beeri, and author of the book of
      prophecies bearing his name. He belonged to the kingdom of
      Israel. "His Israelitish origin is attested by the peculiar,
      rough, Aramaizing diction, pointing to the northern part of
      Palestine; by the intimate acquaintance he evinces with the
      localities of Ephraim (5:1; 6:8, 9; 12:12; 14:6, etc.); by
      passages like 1:2, where the kingdom is styled 'the land', and
      7:5, where the Israelitish king is designated as 'our' king."
      The period of his ministry (extending to some sixty years) is
      indicated in the superscription (Hos. 1:1, 2). He is the only
      prophet of Israel who has left any written prophecy.

      salvation. (1.) The original name of the son of Nun, afterwards
      called Joshua (Num. 13:8, 16; Deut. 32:44).
     
         (2.) 1 Chr. 27:20. The ruler of Ephraim in David's time.
     
         (3.) The last king of Israel. He conspired against and slew
      his predecessor, Pekah (Isa. 7:16), but did not ascend the
      throne till after an interregnum of warfare of eight years (2
      Kings 17:1, 2). Soon after this he submitted to Shalmaneser, the
      Assyrian king, who a second time invaded the land to punish
      Hoshea, because of his withholding tribute which he had promised
      to pay. A second revolt brought back the Assyrian king Sargon,
      who besieged Samaria, and carried the ten tribes away beyond the
      Euphrates, B.C. 720 (2 Kings 17:5, 6; 18:9-12). No more is heard
      of Hoshea. He disappeared like "foam upon the water" (Hos. 10:7;
      13:11).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Hough
      to hamstring, i.e., sever the "tendon of Achilles" of the hinder
      legs of captured horses (Josh. 11:6; 2 Sam. 8:4; 1 Chr. 18:4),
      so as to render them useless.

   House
      Till their sojourn in Egypt the Hebrews dwelt in tents. They
      then for the first time inhabited cities (Gen. 47:3; Ex. 12:7;
      Heb. 11:9). From the earliest times the Assyrians and the
      Canaanites were builders of cities. The Hebrews after the
      Conquest took possession of the captured cities, and seem to
      have followed the methods of building that had been pursued by
      the Canaanites. Reference is made to the stone (1 Kings 7:9;
      Isa. 9:10) and marble (1 Chr. 29:2) used in building, and to the
      internal wood-work of the houses (1 Kings 6:15; 7:2; 10:11, 12;
      2 Chr. 3:5; Jer. 22:14). "Ceiled houses" were such as had beams
      inlaid in the walls to which wainscotting was fastened (Ezra
      6:4; Jer. 22:14; Hag. 1:4). "Ivory houses" had the upper parts
      of the walls adorned with figures in stucco with gold and ivory
      (1 Kings 22:39; 2 Chr. 3:6; Ps. 45:8).
     
         The roofs of the dwelling-houses were flat, and are often
      alluded to in Scripture (2 Sam. 11:2; Isa. 22:1; Matt. 24:17).
      Sometimes tents or booths were erected on them (2 Sam. 16:22).
      They were protected by parapets or low walls (Deut. 22:8). On
      the house-tops grass sometimes grew (Prov. 19:13; 27:15; Ps.
      129:6, 7). They were used, not only as places of recreation in
      the evening, but also sometimes as sleeping-places at night (1
      Sam. 9:25, 26; 2 Sam. 11:2; 16:22; Dan. 4:29; Job 27:18; Prov.
      21:9), and as places of devotion (Jer. 32:29; 19:13).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Hushai
      quick, "the Archite," "the king's friend" (1 Chr. 27:33). When
      David fled from Jerusalem, on account of the rebellion of
      Absalom, and had reached the summit of Olivet, he there met
      Hushai, whom he sent back to Jerusalem for the purpose of
      counteracting the influence of Ahithophel, who had joined the
      ranks of Absalom (2 Sam. 15:32, 37; 16:16-18). It was by his
      advice that Absalom refrained from immediately pursuing after
      David. By this delay the cause of Absalom was ruined, for it
      gave David time to muster his forces.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Husk
      In Num. 6:4 (Heb. zag) it means the "skin" of a grape. In 2
      Kings 4:42 (Heb. tsiqlon) it means a "sack" for grain, as
      rendered in the Revised Version. In Luke 15:16, in the parable
      of the Prodigal Son, it designates the beans of the carob tree,
      or Ceratonia siliqua. From the supposition, mistaken, however,
      that it was on the husks of this tree that John the Baptist fed,
      it is called "St. John's bread" and "locust tree." This tree is
      in "February covered with innumerable purple-red pendent
      blossoms, which ripen in April and May into large crops of pods
      from 6 to 10 inches long, flat, brown, narrow, and bent like a
      horn (whence the Greek name keratia, meaning 'little horns'),
      with a sweetish taste when still unripe. Enormous quantities of
      these are gathered for sale in various towns and for
      exportation." "They were eaten as food, though only by the
      poorest of the poor, in the time of our Lord." The bean is
      called a "gerah," which is used as the name of the smallest
      Hebrew weight, twenty of these making a shekel.
