HEMY, CHARLES NAPIER (1841- ), British painter, born at Newcastle-on-Tyne, was trained in the Newcastle school of art, in the Antwerp academy and in the studio of Baron Leys. He has produced some figure subjects and landscapes, but is best known by his admirable marine paintings. He was elected an associate of the Royal Academy in 1898, associate of the Royal Society of Painters in Water Colours in 1890 and member in 1897. Two of his paintings, "Pilchards" (1897) and "London River" (1904), are in the National Gallery of British Art.
HEN, a female bird, especially the female of the common fowl (q.v.). The O. Eng. _hæn_ is the feminine form of _hana_, the male bird, a correlation of words which is represented in other Teutonic languages, cf. Ger. _Hahn_, _Henne_, Dutch _haan_, _hen_, Swed. _hane_, _hönne_, &c. The O. Eng. name for the male bird has disappeared, its place being taken by "cock," a word probably of onomatopoeic origin, being from a base _kuk_- or _kik_-, seen also in "chicken." This word also appears in Fr. _coq_, and medieval Lat. _coccus_.
