RECORD.
One scholarly question. Every attached source. The present editorial state, without pretending the last word has been written.

Does the codex’s route from Ravenna to Uppsala map the spread of spoken Gothic?
No. It maps the custody of the evidence object. The manuscript traveled through Werden, Prague, Stockholm, Holland, and Uppsala long after Gothic ceased to be a living vernacular in those places.
WORD UNDER REVIEWDISPUTE 389
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.
