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.
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
VIJAND 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.

Proposed Indo-European comparative horizon
The displayed base is already a proposed comparison. It does not recover one homeland, one pronunciation, or one original enemy concept.
2 DIRECT CITATIONS ↗ - 02*fi(j)ēn- and *fi(j)and-NO SINGLE PIN
Proto-Germanic linguistic horizon
The hate verb and lexicalized participial enemy noun are comparative reconstructions shared across Germanic branches.

South Lower Rhine Old Dutch record
ONW locates most early records in the South Lower Rhine and labels the surviving witnesses as copies from 1595–1605, circa 1598, or later.
1 DIRECT CITATIONS ↗ - 04uiande in the Leiden Willeram, circa 1100NO SINGLE PIN
Egmond, Holland
ONW locates a God-and-heretics enemy clause at Egmond. The named textual context does not justify one manuscript-production coordinate.

Ghent, East Flanders
VMNW locates its earliest thirteenth-century record in a Ghent documentary source.
1 DIRECT CITATIONS ↗ - 06secure Devil-sense record, 1265–1300NO SINGLE PIN
West Brabant and West Flanders
VMNW records repeated Devil or Lucifer uses in the Life of Saint Lutgard, Rijmbijbel, and Liège Diatessaron textual worlds.

Dutch-language continuum
EWN, WNT, and ANW document continuation into standard Dutch, with ordinary enemy or opponent remaining central and figurative uses extending beyond people.

Knowledge boundary
The graph stops before hatred, harm, blame, enemy, Devil, or suffering is declared the one certain prehistoric essence.

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.
