in many languages this is the interjection of attack, the interjection
the people use when attacking. I got the suggestion this interjection
should be of Hungarian origin. In Hungarian this should be "Haj ra!" and
it should mean "auf them". The interjection should have been took by
European peoples once as the Hungarians have been the devastatory
meanance in the periode they arrived in Europa.
Does anyone know something more about this interjection? BTW, are there
any records in the ancient languages wich explain the interjections used
by Greek, Romans, Indians, Goths, etc for this "hoorah"?
