of the experiences derived from the senses, and experiences in general, as in the Rabb. the five senses are called חושים.
Hhayalim, Ecc 10:10; everywhere else, also in Aram., meaning war=hosts, except at Isa 30:6, where it denotes opes, treasures.
Hhesron, Ecc 1:15, a common word in the post-bibl. language.^[1]
Heephets, Ecc 3:1, Ecc 3:17; Ecc 5:7; Ecc 8:6; cf. Isa 58:3, Isa 58:13. The primary unweakened meaning is found at Ecc 5:3; Ecc 12:1, Ecc 12:10. The weakening of the original meaning may have already early begun; in the Book of Koheleth it has advanced as far as in the language of the Mishna, e.g., Mezia iv. 6.
Hheshbon, Ecc 7:25, Ecc 7:27; Ecc 9:10. Plur. at Ecc 7:29, machinationes; only in 2Ch 26:15 in the sense of machinae bellicae; but as in Koheleth, so also in Shabbath 150a.
Hhathhhatim, only at Ecc 12:5.
Tahhanah, Ecc 12:4; cf. tehhon, Lam 5:3, which is foreign to the Mishna, but is used as corresponding to the older rehhaim, in the same way as the vulgar Arab. mathanat and tahwan, instead of the older raha.^[2] יאשׁ, Pih., only Ecc 2:20. Talm. Nithpa. נתיאשׁ, to abandon hope, e.g., Kelim xxvi. 8.
Yegiyah, only Ecc 12:12; an abstract such as may be formed from all verbs, and particularly is more frequently formed in the more modern than in the more ancient language.
Yother, as a participial adj.: “that which remains” (cf. 1Sa 15:15) = “gain,” Ecc 6:11; Ecc 7:11; or “superiority,” Ecc 6:8. As an adv.: “more” (cf. Est 6:6), “particularly,” Ecc 2:15; Ecc 7:16; Ecc 12:9, Ecc 12:12. In the Talm. Heb., used in the sense of “remaining over” (Kiddushin 24b); and as an adv., in the sense of plus or magis (e.g., Chullin 57b).
Yaphěh, Ecc 3:11; Ecc 5:17, as e.g., Jer. Pesachim ix. 9 (b. Pesachim 99a): “Silence is well-becoming (יפה) the wise; how much more fools!”
Yithron, Ecc 2:13 (twice), Ecc 7:12 (synon. mothar, Ecc 3:1); more frequently “real gain,” Ecc 1:3; Ecc 2:11; Ecc 3:9; Ecc 5:15; Ecc 10:10; “superiority and gain,” Ecc 5:8. Peculiar (= Aram. yuthran) to the Book of Koheleth, and in Rabb., whence it is derived.
Keěhhad, Ecc 11:6; Isa 65:25, Chron., Ezra, Nehem., the Chald. kahhada; Syr. okchado; frequent in the Mish., e.g., Bechoroth vii. 4; Kilajim i. 9.
Kevar, adv., Ecc 1:10; Ecc 2:12, Ecc 2:16;
