قال الخليل: الهمزة صوت مهتوت في أقصى الحلق يصير همزة، فإذا رفه عن الهمز، كان نفسا يحول إلى مخرج الهاء، فلذلك استخفت العرب إدخال الهاء على الألف المقطوعة، نحو أراق وهراق، وأيهات وهيهات، وأشباه ذلك كثير.

Al-Khalil said: The hamza is a broken sound in the back of the throat that becomes a hamza. When it is relaxed from the hamza, it becomes a breath that shifts to the exit of the 'ha' sound. Therefore, the Arabs found it easy to insert 'ha' after the cut 'alif', like in 'araqa' and 'haraqa', 'ayhat' and 'hayhat', and many similar examples.

قال سيبويه: من الحروف المهتوت، وهو الهاء، وذلك لما فيها من الضعف والخفاء.

If the caravan stops at the plateau, do not say to it 'hatt'; and some say: do not 'tuhtahit' it. Abu al-Haytham said: 'Al-hatahtah' is to deter it when drinking. He said: The meaning of the proverb is, if you show a man his right path, do not insist on him, for insistence in advice will lead you to suspicion.

والهتهتة من الصوت: مثل الهتيت؛ الأزهري: الهتهتة والتهتهة أيضا في التواء اللسان عند الكلام.
