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-Germanic linguistic horizon
Orel’s Gothic, Old English, Old Frisian, Old Saxon, Old Norse, and Old High German comparison supports a Germanic verb family, while the exact reconstruction and the possibility of specifically Gothic remodeling remain disputed.

Fourth-century Gothic translation tradition
Luke 1:71 and Luke 6:27 belong to the Gothic Gospel translation tradition. Their lexical swap reveals translation behavior but does not date the first spoken use or prove that the construction was newly coined.
3 DIRECT CITATIONS ↗ - 03early-sixth-century Codex Argenteus witnessesregional placement
Ravenna
Both directly inspected participles occur in the purple-vellum Gospel codex probably copied in Ravenna: hatandane on folio 123r and hatandans on folio 143v.

Werden, Ruhr district
The codex was known in the sixteenth century at a Benedictine monastery in Werden. This is the route of the evidence object, not proof that spoken Gothic traveled with it.

Prague
By 1600 the codex was in Prague in the hands of Emperor Rudolph II; Swedish forces took it when they stormed the city in 1648.

Stockholm
The codex reached Stockholm as spoil of war and entered Queen Christina’s library before passing to Isaac Vossius.

Holland custody
Vossius took the manuscript to Holland; Magnus Gabriel De la Gardie later bought it and presented it to Uppsala University.

Uppsala University Library
De la Gardie presented the codex to Uppsala University in 1669. Modern facsimiles expose both folios while Project Wulfila supplies the aligned corpus analyses.

Knowledge boundary
The proposed Indo-European comparison remains visible, but no single enemy, hate, grief, care, pursuit, persecution, or translation origin is promoted.

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.
