  • 1) "A hapax legomenon (pronounced /ˈhæpæks lɨˈgÉ’mÉ™nÉ’n/ or /ˈheɪpæks/) (pl. hapax legomena, though sometimes called hapaxes for short) is a word which occurs only once in the written record of a language, in the works of an author, or in a single text. They often prove important for attributing authorship of a work; for example, each of Shakespeare's plays contains a similar percentage of hapax legomena not found elsewhere in his work, something that would be difficult for a forger to duplicate. They also create difficulties in translation and decipherment, since inferring meaning from context becomes less certain with fewer examples. For example, many of the remaining undeciphered Mayan glyphs are hapax legomena, and Biblical hapax legomena play a large role in disputes over Bible translation."

The word is a synthesis of the Greek words ÏŒνομα (onoma, = "name") and ποιέω (poieō, = "I make" or "I create") thus it essentially means "name creation", although it makes more sense combining "name" and "I do", meaning it is named (and spelled) as it sounds (e.g. quack, bang, etc.)."

He describes the trickling action of the water with a hapax, mepak- kim, an onomatopoeic formation from pak, "bottle," conveying the sound of liquid gurgling out of a flask."
