PLACE → PERIOD → TRANSFORMATIONWORDS HAVE
ADDRESSES.
Trace where a word’s reviewed history passed through—and see every broad, global, or uncertain stage that cannot honestly be reduced to one point.
A ROUTE IS A MODEL.
NOT A GPS TRACE.
Regional pins locate reviewed cultural stages. Approximate pins locate broad reconstructed or contact regions. Global stages stay unpinned. Every route preserves its full editorial sequence; only directly cited, explicitly bounded stages also enter the cross-word Timeline Atlas.
231 coordinate pairs exist; global placements are suppressed.
Broad, global, uncertain, or not honestly reducible to one point.
1324 claim-level citations; every remaining stage is a frontier task.
Source-backed stages now join the cross-word Timeline Atlas.
Historic labels remain readable without being parsed into false years.

WHERE DID THE WORD GO?
Filters select complete word journeys when any stage matches. The map and route card then preserve the surrounding stages, so a search result never becomes a historically amputated dot.

This is not a GPS trace. Lines appear only when adjacent stages in one selected route both have defensible points. A global stage is not pinned even when a legacy coordinate names the route’s point of departure. Missing locations break the line.

Proto-Indo-European linguistic horizon
A deeper harm, blame, suffering, or hate comparison is published, but the precise formal route and original semantic center remain proposed.

Proto-Germanic linguistic horizon
The verb was inherited across Germanic, while the present-participial enemy formation had already lexicalized before Gothic according to the cross-branch noun parallels.
2 DIRECT CITATIONS ↗ - 03fijan and fijands translation systemNO SINGLE PIN
Fourth-century Gothic translation tradition
The surviving corpus reflects a translation tradition in which the verb, productive participle, and inherited enemy noun overlap. The 42-token inventory does not equal all Gothic usage.
3 DIRECT CITATIONS ↗ - 04early-sixth-century Codex Argenteus witnessesregional placement
Ravenna
Four directly inspected tokens occur in the probable Ravenna codex: infinitive fijan on fol. 33r, j-less fiaiþ on fol. 76v, and ambiguous fijandam on fols. 123r and 143v.
5 DIRECT CITATIONS ↗ - 05sixteenth-century Codex Argenteus custodyapproximate placement
Werden, Ruhr district
The directly inspected codex was known at a Benedictine monastery in Werden. This is evidence-object custody, not word diffusion.

Prague
The codex was in Emperor Rudolph II’s Prague collection by 1600 and was taken by Swedish forces in 1648.

The codex entered Queen Christina’s library before passing to Isaac Vossius.

Vossius took the manuscript to Holland; Magnus Gabriel De la Gardie later acquired it.

De la Gardie presented the codex to Uppsala University. Facsimiles expose four inspected tokens while Project Wulfila aligns the wider corpus.

WHAT THIS MAP CAN AND CANNOT CLAIM
GEOGRAPHIC HONESTY IS PART OF THE DATA.
A defensible cultural or linguistic region can be plotted, but the point summarizes an area rather than an exact address.
A reconstructed homeland or contact zone is placed only as a broad visual orientation and uses a distinct dashed marker.
A distributed network, era, or world language has no honest single coordinate. It remains in the sequence and off the map.
Directly cited stages may carry exact, range, century, circa, open, or before bounds. Unbounded prose stays unparsed.
959 stages have claim-level citations and 578 have defensible numeric bounds. Every uncited or unbounded stage remains visible unfinished work.
