## Old High German
### Etymology

Derived from the verb habēn

### Noun

haba f
* property

#### Descendants

* Middle High German: habe
** German: Habe

## Spanish
### Etymology

Inherited from Old Spanish faba, from Latin faba, from Proto-Indo-European *bʰabʰ- (“bean”). Cognate with English fava.

### Pronunciation

* IPA: /ˈaba/ [ˈa.β̞a]
* Audio (Spain):(file)
* Rhymes: -aba
* Syllabification: ha‧ba

### Noun

haba f (plural habas)
* broad bean, horse bean (Fabaceae, Vicia faba)
* bean (cocoa, coffee, etc.)
* ballot ball
* nodule (in stone)
* nugget of ore (with gangue)
* bump (caused by insect bite)
* (veterinary) equine palatitis (disease of horses)

#### Usage notes

* Feminine nouns beginning with stressed /ˈa/ like haba take the singular definite article el (otherwise reserved for masculine nouns) instead of the usual la: el haba. This includes the contracted forms al and del (instead of a la and de la, respectively): al haba, del haba.
    These nouns also usually take the indefinite article un that is otherwise used with masculine nouns (although the standard feminine form una is also permitted): un haba or una haba. The same is true with determiners algún/alguna and ningún/ninguna, as well as for numerals ending with 1 (e.g., veintiún/veintiuna).
    However, if another word intervenes between the article and the noun, the usual feminine singular articles and determiners (la, una etc.) must be used: la mejor haba, una buena haba.
* If an adjective follows the noun, it must agree with the noun's gender regardless of the article used: el haba única, un(a) haba buena.
* In the plural, the usual feminine singular articles and determiners (las, unas etc.) are always used.

#### Derived terms

* en todas partes cuecen habas
* habado
* habas fritas
* habón
* ser habas contadas
* tonto del haba

#### Descendants

* → Mezquital Otomi: aba
* → Quechua: jawas
