PERMANENT DISPUTE RECORD
ALL DISPUTES ↗One scholarly question. Every attached source. The present editorial state, without pretending the last word has been written.
No. Tío Sáenz’s full-corpus weak-verb inventory lists the lemma as hettan but gives only hettende beneath it. The dossier therefore labels hettan a normalized lexicographic lemma rather than quoting an unattested infinitive token.
/ˈhet.tɑn/ · Old English weak-verb lemma
An Old English weak-verb lemma supported by a strikingly narrow surface record. A full-corpus lemmatisation inventory lists only hettende under hettan; Bosworth–Toller redirects the bare headword to hettend, “enemy,” while Orel compares the verb with Gothic hatjan and Middle High German hetzen. Clark Hall instead assigns hettende to hatian. The dossier therefore separates the comparative verb, the recorded enemy word, and the unresolved lemma assignment.
DIRECT CLAIM EVIDENCE
A citation is not a vote. Each record says whether the work supports, challenges, contradicts, or contextualizes the position—and identifies the exact locus used.
Shows that the located inventory supplies the headword only with hettende.
p. 255, hettan: hettendeThe form record and attestation distinguish lemma-level evidence from a directly surviving infinitive.
