Are hatjan and hatan two Gothic verbs or one fluctuating paradigm?

The located scholarship does not collapse to one answer. Project Wulfila gives separate class-I and class-III lemmas; Orel publishes distinct Germanic formations. Braune says hatan fluctuates between class III and class I, and Wright lists both under the same gloss.

WORD UNDER REVIEWDISPUTE 385

hatjan

/ˈhat.jan/ · Gothic class-I weak-verb lemma

A Gothic weak verb meaning hate, represented by exactly one verified corpus token: the present participle hatjandam in Matthew 5:44. Project Wulfila lemmatizes that token as class-I hatjan, while the parallel Luke 6:27 command uses class-III hatandans from hatan. Braune treats the two shapes as conjugational fluctuation; Orel and the current corpus keep distinct formations visible. The normalized infinitive, the written participle, and the reconstructed parent are therefore never collapsed.

LEGACY SOURCE SUMMARY
Corpus lemmatization, historical grammar, and comparative reconstruction expose different analytical granularity.
WHY NO RESOLUTION

The reviewed evidence does not yet warrant collapsing the competing or incomplete analyses into one secure answer.
