Domain	Definition
Bible	Hail! a salutation expressive of a wish for the welfare of the person addressed; the translation of the Greek _Chaire_, "Rejoice" (Luke 1:8). Used in mockery in Matt. 27:29. Hail frozen rain-drops; one of the plagues of Egypt (Ex. 9:23). It is mentioned by Haggai as a divine judgment (Hag. 2:17). A hail-storm destroyed the army of the Amorites when they fought against Joshua (Josh. 10:11). Ezekiel represents the wall daubed with untempered mortar as destroyed by great hail-stones (Ezek. 13:11). (See also 38:22; Rev. 8:7; 11:19; 16:21.). Source: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary.
Dream Interpretation	If you dream of being in a hail storm, you will meet poor success in any undertaking. If you watch hail-stones fall through sunshine and rain, you will be harassed by cares for a time, but fortune will soon smile upon you. For a young woman, this dream indicates love after many slights. To hear hail beating the house, indicates distressing situations. Source: Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted ....
Geography	Small, roughly spherical lumps of approximately concentric shells of clear ice and compact snow, collectively, that are precipitated during thunderstorms. Source: European Union. (references)
Literature	Hail Health, an exclamation of welcome, like the Latin Salve (Anglo-Saxon, hél, health; but hail=frozen rain is the Anglo-Saxon hægl.) "All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, thane of Glamis." Shakespeare: Macbeth, i. 3. Hail To call to. To hail a ship or an omnibus. To call to those on board. Source: Brewer's Dictionary.
Science	Precipitation composed of balls or irregular lumps of ice. Hail is produced when large frozen raindrops, or almost any particles, in cumulonimbus clouds act as embryos that grow by accumulating supercooled liquid droplets. Violent updrafts in the cloud carry the particles in freezing air, allowing the frozen core to accumulate more ice. When the piece of hail becomes too heavy to be carried by upsurging air currents it falls to the ground. (references)

Lexicography	Devil's Dictionary	SATIRE, n. An obsolete kind of literary composition in which the vices and follies of the author's enemies were expounded with imperfect tenderness. In this country satire never had more than a sickly and uncertain existence, for the soul of it is wit, wherein we are dolefully deficient, the humor that we mistake for it, like all humor, being tolerant and sympathetic. Moreover, although Americans are "endowed by their Creator" with abundant vice and folly, it is not generally known that these are reprehensible qualities, wherefore the satirist is popularly regarded as a soul-spirited knave, and his ever victim's outcry for codefendants evokes a national assent. Hail Satire! be thy praises ever sung In the dead language of a mummy's tongue, For thou thyself art dead, and damned as well -- Thy spirit (usefully employed) in Hell. Had it been such as consecrates the Bible Thou hadst not perished by the law of libel. Barney Stims
