ONW gives fīunt as its normalized lemma, counts twenty-six appellative occurrences, and prints six attested case-number cells. Its surface inventory totals three nominative singular, three genitive singular, ten nominative plural, one genitive plural, six dative plural, and three accusative plural occurrences. The table does not attest a complete paradigm.

fīunt / fīant

enemy or opponent; one disputed record may denote the Devil

SOUND
The normalized lemma fīunt selects the headword used by ONW from a historical aggregate also represented as fīant in EWN. The exact corpus inventory includes fiunt-, fiund-, uiand-, uiend-, and viann- surface forms; this edge is lemma and paradigm navigation, not one sound change between two written tokens.
MEANING
The records remain inside the enemy or opponent noun, with one separately disputed Devil gloss. No surface variant is assigned every sense.
CHRONOLOGY
Old Dutch headword normalization over records linguistically dated 901–1200.

CONFIDENCE
established — The official historical dictionary publishes the lemma, frequency table, and surface forms; EWN supplies the wider historical display. The combined node is editorial aggregation rather than one token.

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.
