Graced with huff-cap terms and thundering threats,
That his poor hearers' hair quite upright sets.
Bp. Hall, Book I, Sat. iii.
Some editor of Hall has endeavoured to explain the term huff-cap by blustering, swaggering. I think it simply means difficult.
Hug. s. The itch. See SHAB (applied to brutes. )
Hug-water. s. Water to cure the hug. See SHAB.
To Hul'der. v. a. To hide; conceal.
Hul'ly. s. A peculiarly shaped long wicker trap used for catching eels.
To Hulve. v. a. To turn over; to turn upside down.
Hum'drum. s. A small low three-wheeled cart, drawn usually by one horse: used occasionally in agriculture.
From the peculiarity of its construction, it makes a kind of humming noise when it is drawn along; hence, the origin of the adjective humdrum.
