Etymology 2
From Middle High German hahsen. Cognate with German Hachse, Haxe (“knuckle, joint”), Dutch haas (“tenderloin”). Like the latter it appears to have been associated with etymology 1, thereby becoming masculine and forming the plural with /z/ rather than /s/.

- (Ripuarian) a piece of pork or beef from the loin; tenderloin
Alternative forms
- Hahs (alternative spelling)
