<br>
Petrus <i>et al.</i>,<br>
<br>
I go along with what Arend says above. However ...<br>
<br>
According to my sources:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">"hare", <i>haas</i>,
etc. < Indo-European *</span><i><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">k</span></i><i><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">̂</span></i><i><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">asen-</span></i><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> ~ *</span><i><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">k</span></i><i><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">̂</span></i><i><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">aso-</span></i><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> 'gray'<br>
cf. Old English <i>hasu</i> 'grayish broun'</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">cf. Old
German <i>hasan</i> 'gray', 'lustrous'</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">cf. Old
Prussian <i>sasnîs</i> 'hare'<br>
cf. Sanskrit </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Mangal;" lang="HI">शशाः</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="HI"> </span><i><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">śaśā-h</span></i><i><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">̣</span></i><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">
</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">'hare'<br>
So, "hare" meaning "gray one" goes way back.<br>
<br>
Dutch <i>heer</i>, German <i>Herr</i> 'lord', 'master' are derived from the
following:<br>
<i>hehr</i> < Old German <i>hēr</i> 'senior', 'superior', 'august', 'sublime',
etc.<br>
cf. Old English <i>hár</i> 'gray'<br>
cf. Old Norse <i>hárr</i> 'gray'<br>
< Germanic *<i>haira-</i>'gray'<br>
cf. Russian <i>серый</i> (<i>seryj</i>) 'gray'<br>
cf. Polish <i>szary </i>'gray'<br>
cf. Lithuanian <i>širmas</i>, <i>širvas</i> 'dapple-gray'<br>
Old Prussian <i>sîwan </i>'gray'<br>
So, it was a gray-haired man that was a senior, and elder, and this Germanic
word was the equivalent of Latin <i>senior</i>.<br>
