Not illustrated. 1811 Excerpt: ...the Danish Hicke, the Belgic Hick, Hickse, Huckup, the Barbarous Latin Hoqueta, the Welsh Ig, Singultus; and they produce, moreover, the Saxon Geoxd, and the German Gaxen, Gixen. Skinner observes on these terms, "Omnia a sono ficta;" and Junius produces the French Hocher, Quatere; where we see the idea of Agitation belonging to this race of words. In Skinner, the succeeding word to Hickock, Hicket, as he expresses it, is HiCK-ivall, or HicK-wwy, "Vireo, Lynx, Picus, "Picumnus, Picus avisj" which he derives from HicfGan, "Moliri, "Niti, Perscrutari, quia sc. rostro, magna vi impacto arbores et "parietes pertundit."

The Doctius however, though intended to have this coincidence in sound with Hiccius, may still allude to Doctus, under the idea of the Wisdom or Learning, which persons in this situation often assume. The English term Hawk, Screare, is another form of these words, denoting Sound, with the idea of Stirring or Raising up the phlegm, as we express it. The Etymologists refer us to the German Hauchen, Inhalare, Anhelitum Efflarej the Danish Harcr/-, Screo; and the Welsh Hochio. Mr. Mr. Richards explains Hoch by "A Hawking or Humming." Hawk, the Bird, is contracted from Havock, and belongs to the Element AV. The Hawker or Pedlar mi...
