From Middle High German hase, from Old High German haso.

Etymology 2

From Middle High German hahsen, from Old High German hāhsina, from Proto-West Germanic *hą̄hasinu.

Cognate with German Hachse, Haxe (“knuckle, joint”), Dutch haas (“tenderloin”). Like the latter it appears to have been associated with etymology 1, thereby becoming masculine and forming the plural with /z/ rather than /s/.

Noun

Has m (plural Hase)

1. (Ripuarian) a piece of pork or beef from the loin; tenderloin

Alternative forms

• Hahs (alternative spelling)
