Etymology[edit]

Yes, this etymology < Old English HASU[6](grey) is attested in Funk & Wagnell two volume dictionary of 1947. In Scotland they call a fog a 'HAAR' that follows the sound changes from 'R' to 'S' in around the 9th century[5]? A 'haze' is grey in appearance, and there is far more connection here, than that of West Frisian for 'wheel'[1] compared with English WHEEL! Andrew H.
