"ה־" meaning in Hebrew

See ה־ in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Article

IPA: /ha/ [Modern-Israeli-Hebrew], /he/ [Modern-Israeli-Hebrew] Forms: הַ־ [canonical], ha- [romanization]
Etymology: Possibly akin to Arabic هَا (hā) and هٰذَا (hāḏā, “this”); Rubin posits a connection Akkadian 𒀭𒉡𒌝 (annûm, “this”); the final ־נ (-n) in הַנ־* (*han-) would've been assimilated to the first syllable of consonant-initial words; this form would then be generalised to vowel-initial words as well. Compare Arabic اَل (al-), the standardized Arabic definite article, which is of largely disputed etymology, and זה (definite הזה).
