Etymology

From Proto-Germanic *husjaz. It is remarkable that the expected alteration between nom.-acc. sg. *-Ce and oblique *-CC- or *-rġ- in ja-stems with light root syllables has only survived in this word and here (army), when hyse only occurs as a prefix and in poetry. All other such words have leveled their paradigm in favor of the oblique cases: bedd (bed), cynn (kind), hryċġ (back), nebb (face), nett (net), pytt (pit), ribb (rib), seċġ (“man,” poetic), webb (web), weċġ (wedge), wiċġ (“horse,” poetic). Of unknown derivation, possibly to be grouped here, are bridd (baby bird) and the poetic word ġiedd (“song, poem, saying”).

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /ˈxy.se/, [ˈhy.ze]

Noun

hyse m (nominative plural hyssas)

  1. (poetic) warrior
  2. (poetic) boy, young man
