/hab/

Etymology: Known in the phrases hab nab , hab or nab , from c1550. Conjectured to represent some part of have v., presumably the present subjunctive, Old English hæbbe, early southern Middle English habbe, in collocation with the corresponding negative form Old English næbbe, Middle English nabbe; the alternative phrase habbe he (ich, we, etc.), nabbe he (ich, we, etc.) = ‘have he (we, etc.) or have he (etc.) not’, accounts fairly for the sense, and answers phonologically; but there is a long gap in the history, between the general disappearance of the habbe forms of the verb in Middle English and the first examples of hab nab. hab ȝe = have ye, if ye have, occurs in Sir Ferumbras c1380; (h)ab is still a form of have in modern Devonshire and west Somerset dialect (where also the phrase hab or nab is in everyday use), but is exemplified by Elworthy only in (h)ab-m, for have'en = ‘have him’, where it may be a modern phonetic change, since the dialectal change of vn to bm is widely spread, in eb'm even, seb'm seven, and the like.

Obsolete exc. dialect.

1. In the phrases hab or nab, hab nab ( habs-nabs), get or lose, hit or miss, succeed or fail; however it may turn out, anyhow; at a venture, at random.
