Harvey Cox in his book, The Future of Faith, used the word "hascent." It is not in oed.

"H" is just above "N" on a keyboard. Could he have meant "nascent?"

rabbi, to save us the trouble could you provide a link for those of us not so literate; meanwhile was he a smoker edited referring the reader to "Something" link in post # 188364 ...but if this will save you any trouble, http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&sourc...h&aq=f&oq=&aqi=Incidentally for the techs amongst us, zm and tsu for instance, why didn't the first link automatically get processed Forgive me though for having forgotten how one does that manually, i'm too old for major reform amongst the algorithms

Here's the quote, as from the online copy at Amazon.com: "During the first two and a half centuries of its life, the hascent Christian movement flourished despite periodic persecutions.." link this certainly appears to be a typo, for nascent, no? - ron o.

it appears (from the page source) that there are no link tags associated with that url.. as to *why there are no tags, I couldn't begin to guess -- I've noticed that happens with many of your posts, so it must be something you're doing.

No doubt you're quite right. Next time I'll try refreshing the address before I copy it to a post

no. do this:
[ url=insert the url here]put whatever here (not the whole url, unless it's short)[/ url]
all of that without the spaces I snuck in there.

Well Buff I fixed it--somewehat haphazardly to be sure--but page 1 is still too wide. Evidently we're hopelessly at the mercy of Bill--or is it Mac
However the "Something" link is not quite what I had expected. Normally when I copy a url from another web site the AWAD algorithm automatically curtails it if necessary, inserting a surrogate carriage return ostensibly to prevent the "widening" effect but maintaining its appearance as a url
So forgive me Buff but based on the assumption that I had copied or pasted the url too hastily or made some other sort of mistake, I went back to the site and very carefully copied the url once more which I am very gingerly pasting below with the utmost caution
Edited to remark that, well, it didn't work this time either; I really did mean well with my most sincere apologies for my lack of skill. Perhaps you can suggest some means before copying and pasting by which I can eaily identify a url as substandard or beyond the capability of the AWAD routine to process and a means to quickly and easily modify it into a more nearly acceptable form. Thank you again for all your help and patience

I'll add an a no-answer answer. Hopefully it will turn the page so this will be slimmed down again. The topic is lost once more in Dale's hypo-linking.

Maybe a season's poem will turn the page
The Oxen
CHRISTMAS EVE, and twelve of the clock.
'Now they are all on their knees'
An elder said as we sat in a flock
By the embers in hearthside ease.
We pictured the meek mild creatures where
They dwelt in their strawy pen,
Nor did it occur to one of us there
To doubt they were kneeling then.
So fair a fancy few would weave
In these years! Yet, I feel,
If someone said on Christmas Eve,
"Come; see the oxen kneel
'In the lonely barton by yonder coomb
Our childhood used to know,'
I should go with him in the gloom,
Hoping it would be so.
Thomas Hardy
1915

I'm not thinking of the typist, but rather the keyboard. and I assume that both keyboards (in these two cases) had the H just above the N.

Most do. Others such as the Turkish F layout (The H being next to rather than above) have almost been phased out and those that dont have latinised characters are slightly different. Most other differences are either 'Shift'ed' or 'Alt'ed'.

Okay--I took out the long URLs and quotes; that seems to have fixed it.
Dale, I'll PM you with what I took out and where it was from, in case it was information you wanted to save.

Link Some of the quotes with hascent (like the Cox one, and this ) do seem to be a straightforward mistyping of nascent, but this germination quote stands out. Sprouting is itself a nascent state, so it is redundant to describe it as one. "Nascent sprouting" also doesn't express what is told through context, which is that the sprouting is not so much nascent as it is hastened. I've seen the word hascent once before, and I wonder if it is similar to hastened and somehow slipped through the cracks.

(your link)", there is a major difference between the nascent entrepreneurs and the comparison group; the hascent entrepreneurs are more active, with 40% reporting two or more activities" .... etc.
Here it looks like it's only used once, which makes it appear some wordplay of the writer of the statistics as there is only mentioning of 'comparison group' for the rest of it. But if you have seen it used elsewhere it may be growing into a real word.

Nascent is from the Latin nasci, 'to be born'. If anyone can scare up a Latin word anything like hasci, 'to be early' I'll leave tsuwm's camp. Until then I'm with the typo-for-nascent theory.

But why can't it be a spontaneous mutation word? Must it be traced back to Latin?

It is. It' a typo. Funny enough, Google Books returned a lot of ghits for hascent, but upon inspection they all turned out to be misreadings for nascent.

Nope, but some of us here enjoy the chase immensely. Others prefer just speculatin', which is okay, too.

you could always add it to one of those 'open dictionaries' - that would make it "real" in no time at all.
edit: I'd love to work on the etymology..
