hie

== English == === Alternative forms === heye, high (obsolete) === Etymology === From Middle English hien, hyen, highen, heiȝen, hiȝen, from Old English hīgian (“to hie, hasten, strive”), from Proto-West Germanic *hīgōn, from Proto-Germanic *hīgōną (“to breathe, snort”), from Proto-Indo-European *ḱēygʰ- (“swift, fierce, violent”). Cognate with Dutch hijgen (“to pant”), German heichen (“to choke, gasp for breath”), Danish hige (“to aspire, long”), Latin cieō (“set in motion, invoke, provoke”), Ancient Greek κινέω (kinéō, “move, set in motion”). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /haɪ/ Rhymes: -aɪ Homophones: hi, Hi, high === Verb === hie (third-person singular simple present hies, present participle hying or hieing, simple past and past participle hied) (intransitive, poetic) To hasten; to go quickly, to hurry. (reflexive, poetic) To hurry (oneself). (transitive) To urge (a horse) to the left with a cry of "hie". Antonym: hup ==== Usage notes ==== Unlike most reflexive verbs, “hie” generally takes the simple object pronouns rather than the reflexive pronouns. Thus “we hied us” and “hie you,” rather than “we hied ourselves” and “hie yourself.” This peculiarity most likely arises from a sense that the poetic connotations of “hie” accord well with the archaic practice of using object pronouns with reflexive verbs. ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Translations ==== === Interjection === hie (dialect) A call to turn a horse to the left.

This is also true of a few other words, like the present subjunctive forms of the verb wesan, sīe and sīen. The sequence must have merged with the diphthong in the later stages of the West Saxon dialect, resulting in the first pronunciation above, however, as the expected outcomes of the Early West Saxon diphthong in the Late West Saxon dialect (where it monophthongised to either /i(ː)/ or /y(ː)/) are reflected in later spellings like hī and hȳ. ===== Declension ===== ===== Descendants ===== Middle English: heYola: hi, h' === Etymology 2 === ==== Pronoun ==== hīe accusative of hēo: her == Saterland Frisian == === Etymology === From Old Frisian hī.
