Anyone who doesn't have access to the Oxford English Dictionary (which has comprehensive etymologies) can look to [http://www.etymonline.com/ Online Etymology Dictionary] for etymological questions. In this case the likely etymology of "Hell" can be found [http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=hell here]. <font color=navy>[[User:JesusSaves|JesusSaves]] 07:50, 13 March 2007 (EDT)</font>
