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.
FILTER THE ROUTE ARCHIVE
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.
THE REVIEWED GEOGRAPHIC LAYER
HETE ON THE MAP
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.

hete
OPEN DOSSIER ↗- 01*hatiz-NO SINGLE PIN
Proto-Germanic linguistic horizon
The reconstructed noun is supported by attested Germanic comparanda; no archaeological point or single tribal speech community is asserted.
2 DIRECT CITATIONS ↗ - 02hete and its compoundsNO SINGLE PIN
Old English textual traditions
Gospel gloss, poetry, prose, homily, psalm, and biblical translation records preserve the noun and a productive compound family.
2 DIRECT CITATIONS ↗ - 03hete beside hate and hatenNO SINGLE PIN
Middle English lexical transition
Published dictionaries disagree on whether later hate directly continues hete or was remodeled from the verb and replaced it.
2 DIRECT CITATIONS ↗ - 04beyond secure Germanic reconstructionNO SINGLE PIN
Knowledge boundary
The qualified PIE comparison remains visible, but no single grief, care, pursuit, love, or hate 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.
