Migrate from Pathauto? Do I need hashes?

I have duplicate/legacy aliases in Pathauto that I'd like to simplify by pulling the legacy aliases out of Pathauto and setting them up as redirects in this module. I am leaning towards inserting these β€” CAREFULLY β€” right into the redirect table.

My question is hashes. It *appears* I can leave this column blank if I've disabled auto-create redirects. Can I omit the hash and still lean on imported data to be served by the Redirect module?

I realize that creating via the API is safer, but I suspect this is technically doable.
