PERMANENT DISPUTE RECORD
ALL DISPUTES ↗One scholarly question. Every attached source. The present editorial state, without pretending the last word has been written.
No. It proves only that the surviving and currently verified corpus contains one token assigned to this lemma. The fragmentary manuscript record cannot measure ordinary spoken frequency.
/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.
DIRECT CLAIM EVIDENCE
