Hello. Goodbye.
Passing over the intrductory paragraph,
Crystal says a few things about the word "hello".
Surprisingly late in appearance -- 19th century.
The first part links back to things like "ha!" "ho!" and "hi!" as 
vocatives and greetings right from OE.
There may also be a connection with hal/hail greetings meaning "good 
health!.
In a triumph of English spelling, the word has been spelled with all 
five of the vowels available: hallo, hello, hillo, hollo, hullo.
