Haje
\Ha"je\ (h[aum]"j[-e]), n. [Ar. hayya snake.] (Zo["o]l.)
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.
