It seems that in any case Hia power is described somewhat inconsistently; some sources seem to present it as only having what H.G. has called catch, which for my taste is the nicer rule; not least, a catch‐only hia also diminishes concerns about completely neutering lame leapers.
Of course, the sources Mats lists both disagree with him: Wikipedia has a catch+slow Hia, whereas afaict Cazaux only explicitly lists slow, though it's possible to interpret it as including catch too. Wikipedia's other source (besides this site's link to Mats' page) again only mentions catch explicitly (clarifying with examples), but is ambiguous in both text and example regarding slow
