DWB reports ordinary hostile disposition beside action-centered uses and one Erec passage where bescheiden haʒ occurs during friendly competition. A rare contextual sense is not projected onto every medieval token.

haʒ

hostile disposition, resentment, enmity, suffering, or sorrow

SOUND
The reviewed dictionaries print the Old and Middle High German noun as haʒ; this edge preserves two attested language periods without inventing a sound change between identical normalized forms.
MEANING
DWB says hostile disposition is exclusively attested in Old High German, while Middle High German records also expose hostile action, anger enacted, and rivalry. That is a difference in the surviving record, not proof of one instantaneous innovation.
CHRONOLOGY
Old High German records from the eighth century into the Middle High German textual period.

Haß / hasz

hostile disposition, hatred, anger, or hostile action

SOUND
Middle High German haʒ continues through New High German hasz or Haß with capitalization of the noun and changing conventions for the final sibilant.
MEANING
The modern hostile-disposition center becomes dominant while the older action, pursuit, anger-in-action, and friendly-rivalry uses recede or disappear.
CHRONOLOGY
Middle High German through New High German spelling and semantic standardization.

The 1996 German spelling reform writes ss after the short vowel in Hass where the pre-reform standard used ß. No pronunciation change is asserted.
MEANING
The lexical meaning remains intense aversion or hostility; the edge models spelling standardization, not a new emotional category.

“Every” means every descendant in the reviewed SET-U graph. It does not convert missing scholarship or missing ingestion into a claim of historical completeness. The coverage ledger remains the honest denominator.
