  • HCE: Hubbub Caused in Edenborough.
  • hubbub: riot, din, ado
  • hibbub: (Hebrew) love
  • hubbub: cf. Milton, Paradise Lost XII.59 ff:
... great laughter was in Heav'n
And looking down, to see the hubbubb strange
And hear the din; thus was the building left
Ridiculous, and the work Confusion nam'd.
(Confusion was thought to be the meaning of Babel.)
