he

/ˈe/

adverb/ˈe/

here is; behold (+ aquí)

From Old Spanish fe, from Arabic هَا (hā, dialectally hê). The alternative forms may reflect a reanalysis of he as a verb form, which could then be pluralized heis (cf. veis ‘you see’). Compare Galician eis, Portuguese eis < Old Galician-Portuguese ei.

noun, feminine/ˈe/plural: hes

he; the Hebrew letter ה

interjection/ˈe/

hey
