Hi! It's a form of the verb lehalel (להלל), "to praise".--Hillel July 4, 2005 02:20 (UTC)

Discussion Clearity - grammer/spelling

(The above portion of this discussion appears to ask of the word "Hillel", what is the etymology?"; and since as written that it appears to be in form as "a persons name", which name also have evolving factors through history; yet with all this a drift into halel where lehalel has been posted as a base form as a reply to answer and has not gained discussion to add contradiction, or any contrast or clearity; the question of any etymology to the name Hillel remains open and no explanation has been noted or linked in any way shape or form, with exception only to the wikipedia username which is linked and should be noted to relate contributions "history page" has edited summary. (Rm {{Long Wikibreak}} template from own user page) ....

So, for "Discussion Clearity"...it is from here that the word "halel" continues discussion, and preperations begin for a new page of it's own-
