It's "hemmed and hawed", so if your "hah" and "haw" are distinct, look
elsewhere for a "hah". Onomatopoetic laughter works.
No help on "hoored" - for me it would be redundant with "hoard",
"horde", and "whored", all perfect homophones. I can imagine some guy
named Hoor doing something that gets immortalized in a verb, though.
I have no word "hod" either.
