DATE: Old Norse textual record
SENSE: hatred enmity spite old norse
FAMILY: Indo-European / North Germanic
CANONICAL KEY: node:66:hatr:attested:sense:hatred-enmity-spite-old-norse

The pronunciation is a broad normalized reading, not a recording or a claim of uniform realization across the Old Norse period. ONP gives the main neuter noun 54 citations and separates one masculine analysis. The proposed mockery or scorn sense carries question marks in the source and is not generalized.

hate, anger, enmity, spite, or hostility

SOUND: The comparative analysis aligns Old Norse hatr and genitive hatrs with the Germanic *hatiz- noun after North Germanic loss or reduction of unstressed material and branch-specific inflection. The public sources establish the comparison more securely than one fully specified sound-law derivation.
MEANING: The inherited hate, anger, enmity, or spite field continues in Old Norse hatred, enmity, and spite. One proposed mockery or scorn context remains a qualified side sense rather than the ancestral center.
CHRONOLOGY: Proto-Germanic reconstruction into the Old Norse textual record, including a directly inspected c.1150-1200 manuscript token.
SCHOLAR: Dictionary of Old Norse Prose editors · Richard Cleasby · Guðbrandur Vigfússon · John T. Koch
CONFIDENCE: probable — The Old Norse form and comparative Germanic set are attested or published; the parent form, exact paradigm history, and semantic center are reconstructed.

No downstream edge has cleared review for this node. This is a graph-coverage statement, not a claim that the historical form produced nothing.

“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.
