Pronunciation [edit]

Homophone: hay
Rhymes: -eɪ

Etymology 1 [edit]

From Middle English hey, hei, also without h- in ey, from Old English *hē, ēa ( interjection ), attested as first element in hēlā, ēalā ( " O!, alas!, oh!, lo! " ). Cognate with Dutch hé, hei ( " hi, hey " ), German hei ( " hey, wow " ), Danish and Swedish hej ( " hello, hey " ), Faroese hey ( " hey, hello " ), Old Norse, Icelandic and Norwegian hei ( " hey " ), Romanian hei, Russian эй ( ej, " hey " ); see heigh. Probably a natural expression, as may be inferred from its presence with similar meaning in many other unrelated languages: for example, Burmese ဟေး ( he: ), Finnish hei, Unami hè, and Mandarin 哎 ( āi ), and various sound-alikes as Ancient Greek εἶα ( eîa ) and Latin eia, eho, Sanskrit हे ( he ). See also hello.
