A hatch, heck, [hatch a gate or wicket; a flood-gate or sluice; a contrivance for trapping salmon: heck a grating or frame of parallel bars . . . used to catch fish at a weir, N. E. D.] In the following instances it is not easy to determine which of the meanings just given should be assigned in each case. In stánweges hæc the word seems to mean a gate; in the compound forms æt hacceburnan, C. D. iii. 292, 21: v. 136, 12 : on haccaburnen, 21: of haccebroce, 13 : vi. 70, 13: on hæccebróc, 21, one of the other meanings seems appropriate. Cf. too, hæcceleás díc, vi. 17, 20; but see (?) hæcce.
