~ ኀ/ Ha ~

ኀ/ Hhe: The ninth letter; the third of ha ሀ, the second of ሐውት/ hawət ሐ. Its name is ḫärm; but scribes call it ብዙኃ/ bəzuḥan (many). Its being ninth is only in appearance; it is not ninth in alphabetical order like ጤ; its being third and second is in sound and the length of pronunciation. Since ፀጰ ፀ is a diphthong of ጸ, it is doubled from its origin ጸ, and is not counted separately; since ኀርም/ ḫärm ኀ is a diphthong of ሐ, it is doubled with ሐ and is not counted separately; it does not have the regularity of the twentytwo letters. However, in alphabetical numeration, when written after ታው, ኀ (haq) is called 500, ፀ (waqa) is called 600; ጰ and ፐ follow these. Its being 500 is because ኀመሰ and ኀምስት ኀምሳ (fifty and five fifties) are written with ḫärm; because it has the mystery of five. Furthermore, since it is the ninth letter in appearance and sequential number, ኈ, following ፐ, becomes the number for 900 and is written as ninth; this shows the progression ጰ 700; ፐ 800; ኈ 900; see አበገደ/ ʾäbugida. In the Arabic script, the sound of ኀ and ፀ is different from the sound of ሐ and ጸ, but their appearance is the same; they have no distinguishing mark except for a dot; like ገ and ጐ, or ከ and ኰ. However, in the Geez script, they have no difference in appearance but only in sound; only by writing are the mystery and word, the synonym of the language, distinguished; their difference disappeared after the time of ከፍሬ ምናጦስ/ fəre mənaṭs. Before that, it is said that the sound of ḫärm ኀ was like this: ኅኻ ኁኹ ኂኺ (ኃኻ) ኄኼ ኅኽ ኆኾ; and the fourth form ኃ, like its appearance, has a difference in sound and mystery; it opens the mouth; it shows detail. ኑኅ, ኑኃ. ብዝኅ, ብዝኃ. But in Arabic, the Geez ኀ is called ኸ. In Hebrew also, it is spoken as a doubled (kaf) as we write it now; Hebrews add a dot to to make it (kh), and leave out the dot to make it (k) its form is of two types. In Amharic and Tigrinya, saying (kaf) as ኀ like ኀርም/ ḫärm or ኸ is a Hebrew rule; it is not Arabic or Geez.

Instead of saying, “ይባእ ነገረ ክልኤሆሙ ኀበ ፈታሕት” / "Let the case of both of them come before the judges,” it says, “ይኅልቆሙ በበይናቲሆሙ ይላል” / "Let them decide between themselves"; it is a mistake of the translator (ዘፀ: ፳፪: ፱).

ኀሊው ዎት/ Ḫäliw Wät፡ (ኀለወ ይኄሉ ይኅሉ) To watch; night watchman.” ሌሊተ ኅልዉ ወመዓልተ ተቀነዩ ።” They kept watch by night and were ready by day. “ይተግሁ ወይኄልዉ።” They are diligent and they watch. “እምተግሀ ወእምኀለወ።” From diligence and from watching. “ከንቶ ይተግሁ እለ ይኄልዉ።” Those who watch labor in vain. “እለ ይኄልዋ” Those who watch her.

To long for; to desire, to yearn for” ኀለሰፈት ነፍስየ ውስተ አድኅኖትከ” My soul longed for your salvation (መዝ: ፻፲፳). Saying "good” or "fine” meaning "passing” in Amharic comes from this; see ምኅላፍ/ məḫəlaf. Those who do not write the aspirate use ኀፈን ገባ and give its proof; ኀለፈት ሰንበት/ ḫäläfät sänbät (passing of the Sabbath). And they say ወየኀልፍ ሐጽ ውስተ ሥጋሁ/ wäyäḫälf ḥaṣə wəstä śəgahu (and a worm will pass into his flesh) it is incorrect (ማር፲፮: ፩። ኢዮ፳: ፳፭).

It says, He who has ኀረየ/ ḫäräyä chooses his own; he who has ይኅረይ/ ḫärəyä chooses his own; it is the usage of the perfect and the past tense.

ኀቀፈ/ Ḫäqäfä: To embrace; ሐቂፍ ሐቀፈ/ ḥaqif ḥäqäfä.

ኀበ/ Ḫabä: (ዐቢይና ደቂቅ አገባብ) Where, of, in, as, while, when. “ወኀበ በዝኀት ኀጢአት ህየ ፈድፈደት ጸጋሁ ለእግዚ፤ ኀጢአት ከበዛች ዘንድ።” Where sin abounded, grace abounded all the more; where sin increased. “ኀበ ጸንዐ ክረምት ይበዝኁ አንቅዕት ።” Where winter is severe, hail increases (ሮሜ፮: ፳። ዘረፋ). When it is of, it is an adjective of place; it is used in oaths. “ወንሰግር ውስተ መካን ኀበ ቆመ እግረ እግዚእነ።” Let us go to the place where our Lords feet stood. “ዘየኀድር ውስተ ብርሃን ኀበ አልቦ ዘይቀርቦ።” He who dwells in light where no one can approach. “ከመ ተሀልዉ ኀበ ሀሎኩ አነ” So that they may be where I am (መዝ: ፻፴፩። ውዳ: ፫። ዮሐ፲፬: ፫). When it is of (meaning being), it is also an adjective of place, so they use it frequently with and without the prefixes ʾəm and ʾəntä; sometimes it remains as an intensifier. “ቦ ብሔር እምኀበ ይወፅእ ብሩር፤ የሚወጣበት።” There is a place from where silver comes; the place from which it comes. “ኢየአምር እንተ ኀበ አሐውር፤ የምኼድበትን።” I do not know where I am going; the place I am going. “አልቦ በኀበ ኢይከብር ነቢይ፤ የማይከብርበት።” There is no place where a prophet is not honored; the place where he is not honored. When it is in and as, it is used with the past tense (ማር፲፮: ፬። ሉቃ፳፬: ፪). When it is while and when, it is used in requests and prophecies. “ቤተሳኦል ኀበ ኀበ ይትነሠት ሖረ፤ ወቤተ ዳዊትሰ ኀበ ኀበ ይጸንዕ፤ እየ እየ።” The house of Saul went on declining, and the house of David went on increasing; while, while. “ኀበ ኀበ ይተብዕ ይትቃተል፤ ኀበ ኀበ ይፈርህ ይጐይይ፤ ኢ ሲ።” Wherever he pursues, he fights; wherever he fears, he flees; not so. In this way of interpretation, it is like ʾənzä (while), and what is said from afar becomes close, slight, and thin. ኀበ ኀበ እ(ት) ፈርህ፤ ስስ። ኀበ ኀበ እረብ: (ኢት) ሳሳ። While, while I fear; slight. While, while I gain; thin. Its being Geez is only when it is conjugated; but when it is used as a preposition and elaborated, it changes to the fifth form, like ኀቤየ (to me, to you (masc. sing.), to him, to her). When it is minor, it enters into place and person, meaning to, near, towards; to and near are one in mystery. “እንተ ሀለወት ኀበ አብ።” She who was with the Father. “ነበረ ኀበ ዐዘቅት።” He was near the abyss. “አሐውር ኀበ አብ ።” I am going to the Father (፩ዮሐ: ፩: ፪። ዮሐ፬: ፮። ፲፮: ፲).

Furthermore, instead of until, from, before, they say ለኀበ and በኀበ; it is a mistake of the translator. “መርሕ ለኀበ ክርስቶስ።” A guide to Christ. “ኢትንሥኡ ቤዛ በኀበ ቀታሊ።” Do not accept a ransom for a murderer. “ዘበኀበ ሰብእ ዐቢይ፤ በኀበ እግዚ ትሑት ወርኩስ።” He who is great among men is humble and vile before God (ገላ፫: ፳፬። ዘኍ፴፭: ፴፩። ሉቃ፲፮: ፲፭).
