n., dat. höfði; gen. pl. höfða, dat. höfðum; in Norse MSS. often spelt hafuð, Anecd. 4 (without umlaut); the root-vowel seems in very early times (8th century) to have been a diphthong; thus Bragi uses the rhymes, laufi—haufði, and rauf—haufuð, Edda; the old ditty with a half rhyme, höfðu vér í haufði, Hkr. i. 104, wou’d be faulty unless we accept a diphthong in the latter word: in good old MSS. (e. g. Sæm. Cod. Reg.) the word is always spelt with ꜹ or au, never o, and probably never had a diphthongal sound; the Norse spelling havuð however points to a short vowel; and later Icel. MSS. spell o or , e. g. Hb. in Vsp. l. c. It is probable that the short vowel originated in the contracted form, as haufði sounds hard; [cp. Goth. haubiþ; A. S. heâfod; Engl. head; Hel. hôbid; O. H. G. houpit; mid. H. G. houbet; mod. G. haupt; Dan. hôved; Swed. hufvud; Ormul. hæfedd (the single f marks a preceding long vowel); thus all old Teut. languages except the Icel. agree in the length of the vowel, whereas Lat. căput, Gr. κεφαλή have a short root vowel.]

A head, Vsp. 38, Sdm. 14, Vþm. 19, Þkv. 16, 19, Skm. 23, Nj. 19, 275, Grág. ii. 11, Fms. x. 381, Eg. 181, Edda 59, passim; mátti svá at kveða, at náliga væri tvau höfuð á hverju kvikendi, Hrafn. 22 (of a great increase in stock); Grímr rakaði bratt fé saman, vóru tvau höfuð á hvívetna því er hann átti, Ísl. ii. 14.

Out there you're an activist, or rather a careerist" (1a).

Дважды уже мимо Пантелея прошли дружинники... «Боятся, что иностранец», - подумал Пантелей... «Который час, не скажете?» - спросил дружинник. Решили, наконец, выяснить - иностранец или наш. Сейчас он им покажет, что в доску свой, несмотря на длинные волосы и замшевые кеды. «У вас рубля случайно не будет, папаша? — хриплым голосом ответил он вопросом на вопрос. - Душа горит...» Дружина испустила вздох облегчения — свой парень! (Аксёнов 6). ( context transl) TWice already a group of vigilantes had walked past Pan-telei....They're afraid I'm a foreigner, thought Pantelei...."What's the time, please?" asked one of the vigilantes. They had finally decided to find out whether he was a foreigner or one of ours. He would now show them that he was one hundred percent Soviet, in spite of his long hair and suede sneakers. "You wouldn't happen to have a ruble to spare, would you, dad?" He answered their question with another question in a hoarse, desperate voice. "My soul's on fire..." The vigilantes gave a sigh of relief-he's one of ours all right! (6a).
