The two word refference to the sevil, used in America and England is " OLD HAIRY " ; not Old Harry ! " WEBSTER'S ENCYCLOPEDIC UNABRIDGED DICTIONARY of the Enaglish Language", which is what I quoted, is well OVER 1700 page. You just don't like that , because it doesn't substanciate what YOU quoted. I*f you'd rather, I can use my first addition of " JOHNSON'S DICTIONARY " which is THE first dictionary of the English language, and which only 6 people, world wide, have in their private collection. All the others are in museums or special ( no one but specialists can even look at it in these places ) library vaults.
The deffinition of harry, with a small " H " is : 1. to harass,annoy,or prove a nuisanceto be repeated attacks,worry: to harry the enemy forces. 2.to ravage, as inwar, devistate ;The troops harried the countryside.-v.i. 3. to make harrising incursions. [ ME heri(en), OE her(g)ian ( deriv. of here army ); G (ver) heeren,Icel herja to harry, lat waste.]
As you can see, harry ( with a small h) is a verb , and has a liniage in Middle English, Old English, German, and Icelandic. A tutonic word of anticquity. There is NO Hebrew, Aramaic , Greek, or Latin word / root .
Please refer to my previous post, wherein I have supplied you with a rather definative book list about the devil, his history, and his names.
If one calls a shoe, an apple, it is still a shoe.
Keep looking -- you'll find it. The meanings of the words: "harry" and "harrass" are close to the meanings of the word "Satan" which from the Hebrew/Chaldee means literally "adversary, enemy, opponent, attacker". The Hebrew/Chaldee root "ar" means "enemy, foe, mischievous person". Haven't you ever read early British American literature or even heard someone who has just suffered a setback say "Old Harry sure got me this time". Some trace the name back to Roman soothsayers known as "haruspex", and others to Italian theatre characters called "harlequins" known as demon huntsmen who wore masks and colorful costumes so as to disguise their deviish intentions.. Keep asking and searching in older complete dictionaries and literature and translations. The truth is found in the past not the present, in those older books that foolish people say are passe, but truly hold the keys to the present meaning of things.
