RECORD.

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

Does one surviving token prove the verb was rare in spoken Gothic?

No. It proves only that the current surviving and verified corpus contains one assigned token. The fragmentary manuscript record cannot measure ordinary speech.

WORD UNDER REVIEWDISPUTE 683

hatizōn

not directly recoverable · Gothic class-II weak-verb lemma

A Gothic weak verb meaning be angry with or at someone, represented by exactly one verified corpus token: present active second-person plural hatizoþ in John 7:23. Project Wulfila and Streitberg align the form with Greek χολᾶτε in the question “are you angry at me?” and analyze the verb with a dative object. The University of Texas derivational grammar builds class-II hatizōn on the consonantal stem hatiz- of hatis “hatred” or “wrath”; Wright independently lists it as a class-II weak verb. The macronized infinitive is a scholarly citation form, while the manuscript writes only the inflected token without a vowel-length mark. The route continues through the reviewed Germanic noun family and a qualified Indo-European comparison, then stops. One corpus token cannot establish spoken rarity, first use, a complete semantic range, exact pronunciation, or one prehistoric essence.
