Does the Luke lexical swap resolve the remaining 21 noun-participle candidates?

No. Luke 1:71 and 6:27 show that fijan and hatan can exchange the work of enemies and those hating, but those two contextual alignments do not determine every other fijand- token.

WORD UNDER REVIEWDISPUTE 433

fijands

/ˈfi.jands/ · Gothic masculine nd-stem common noun

A Gothic masculine nd-stem noun conventionally glossed enemy. Project Wulfila currently exposes 26 candidates: three verified noun assignments, two further noun-only assignments, and 21 surface forms also listed under the living verb fijan. Ayora Estevan explains the collision diachronically: Proto-Germanic had already lexicalized the present-participial *fi(j)and- as enemy, while Gothic retained productive one-who-hates participles beside the noun. The five noun-only candidates use fiand, fijands, fijande, and fijandis; all five were inspected in Codex Argenteus facsimiles.

LEGACY SOURCE SUMMARY
The paired verses demonstrate translation flexibility and preserve, rather than erase, the wider category problem.
WHY NO RESOLUTION
