hav (third-person singular simple present has, present participle having, simple past and past participle had)
* Informal spelling of have.
** 1895 May 18, The Truth Seeker: A Journal of Freethought and Reform, New York, N.Y., page 312, column 1:I giv full credit, I hope, to the earnest persons who stand ready to make liberal donations toward the founding of schools from which the Bible and religious exercises shall be forever excluded. […] I hav noticed in the parts of our country I hav visited that children seem to be better provided with instruction than with almost anything else. […] The founding of separate and exclusiv institutions of learning must of course make his burden heavier, and we would also be open to the charge, which we make against the Catholics, of being enemies of the public schools.

#### Usage notes
