 Definitions for Haje: The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48
:
Haje \Ha"je\ (h[aum]"j[-e]), n. [Ar. hayya snake.] (Zool.)
The Egyptian asp or cobra (Naja haje.) It is related to the
cobra of India, and like the latter has the power of
inflating its neck into a hood. Its bite is very venomous. It
is supposed to be the snake by means of whose bite Cleopatra
committed suicide, and hence is sometimes called {Cleopatra's
snake} or asp. See Asp.
