Michael Fisher asks:

what does DH stand for?

Michael Fisher, New York

The Kollel replies:

It is the initials of "Dibur ha'Maschil", which means literally "the beginning words" or heading. It is the common way of referring to a particular section of a text.

Kollel Iyun Hadaf

M Schwimmer adds:

It's the the equivalent of s.v. used in English, from the Latin 'sub verbo' meaning 'under the word' or 'under the heading'.

Respectfully,

Mordechai Schwimmer
