TIMELINE ATLAS ↗MAP THE ROUTE / KEEP THE LIMIT
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.

Proposed Indo-European bore-prick horizon
One competing route connects the adjective through threat and Germanic whet or incite comparanda. A reconstructed linguistic horizon is not one archaeological point.
2 DIRECT CITATIONS ↗ - 02UT k̑ād- lane crosswalked to the reviewed *ḱeh₂d- proposalNO SINGLE PIN
Proposed Indo-European hate-grief horizon
The other route places hōti with the hate family. Its semantic unity and exact reconstruction remain qualified.
1 DIRECT CITATIONS ↗ - 03competing *hwōtja- and *hatiz- parent analysesNO SINGLE PIN
Proto-Germanic linguistic horizon
Cross-source disagreement begins before the Old Saxon record: one source reconstructs a threat-related adjective, another classifies the form with hate.
2 DIRECT CITATIONS ↗ - 04no reconciled parent before the competing routesNO SINGLE PIN
Unresolved deep boundary
The trail ends without choosing one original essence or inventing an older common node.
2 DIRECT CITATIONS ↗ - 05work created circa 830–840; place of poetic origin unknownNO SINGLE PIN
Old Saxon Heliand textual horizon
Three lexical loci belong to the work layer, distinct from the dates and locations of the surviving manuscript objects.
2 DIRECT CITATIONS ↗ - 06Cgm 25, second half of the ninth centuryapproximate placement
Corvey catalog attribution
The Munich witness directly preserves hotie and hotean. The point represents a catalog attribution, not the adjective's birthplace.
3 DIRECT CITATIONS ↗ - 07Cotton Caligula A VII, mid or second half of the tenth centuryNO SINGLE PIN
English Cotton manuscript transmission
Köbler reports huotia, huotian, and huoti from manuscript C. None of those three exact page images was inspected in this review.
2 DIRECT CITATIONS ↗ - 08later höt or höte comparandaNO SINGLE PIN
Middle Low German comparison horizon
Köbler supplies later hostile, bad, or violent adjectives as comparanda, not as direct proof of one exact Old Saxon-to-Middle-Low-German token chain.

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.
