haye
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Pronunciation: enpr: hā
ipa: /heɪ/
Forms: form: hayes
form: hayen
form: hay
Etymology: From Dutch haai (“shark”) or West Flemish haaie (formerly haeye), from the Old Norse hái, a short form of hákarl (“shark”) (a compound of há- (“marks fish of the shark kind”) + karl (“a man”)). The German Hai, the Swedish haj and the Danish haj are from the same source.
Senses: examples: text: They have of Hayens or Tuberons which devour men, especially such as fish for Pearles.
ref: 1613, Samuel Purchas, Pilgrimage, page 504:
text: Other unlucky accidents oft-times happen in these seas, as, when (especially in becalmings) men swim in the bearing ocean, the greedy Hayen, called Tuberon or Shark, armed with a double row of venomous teeth, pursue them, directed by a little rhombus or musculus, variously streaked and coloured with blue and white, that scuds to and fro to bring the shark intelligence.
ref: 1665, Sir Thomas Herbert, A Relation of Some Yeares Travaile Begunne Anno 1626, into Afrique and the Greater Asia, page 6:
text: They do not fling away the Hays in Spain, but sell them.
ref: 1694, Account of Several Late Voyages and Discoveries, book 2, page 139:
text: The Haye doth not spawn like other fishes, nor lay eggs (as the tortoise does), but casts its young in the manner of quadrupeds. [¶]These fish do no manner of damage on the whole Gold Coast; but as Fida and Ardra, where the slave-trade is managed, they are extraordinarily ravenous, and in my opinion fiercer than the most voracious animal in the world. […]
[¶]When the Haye seizes his Prey, he is obliged to turn himself on his Back, because his mouth is placed far behind and low, wherefore he cannot come at any thing upwards. [¶]When we sometimes take one of these fish and haul him on board with a rope, we are always obliged to keep a distance; for besides his sharp teeth, he strikes with his tail, which is prodigiously strong, and whoever comes near him loses either an arm or a leg, or at least hath it broken to pieces.
