hatan

TRANSLITERATION hatan

to hate in the quoted enemy command; wider paradigm also glossed pursue

DATE: Munich Heliand manuscript, second half of the ninth century
SENSE: hate verb manuscript spelling
FAMILY: Indo-European / West Germanic
CANONICAL KEY: node:92:hatan:attested:sense:hate-verb-manuscript-spelling

The exact infinitive hatan is directly visible in Cgm 25 scan 45 at Heliand 1451. Köbler places it under normalized hatōn beside manuscript-C haton, participial hatandiero or hettendero, preterite hatoda, and a glossarial haton. The exact queue candidate is therefore a represented spelling, not a second lexeme.

reconstructed class-III or related weak verbs meaning hate

SOUND: Old Saxon h continues the Germanic fricative represented by Orel as x, while the attested ō-class paradigm is compared with reconstructed weak-verb alternatives. Orel prints *xatēnan ~ *xatōjanan; Köbler prints *hatōn.
MEANING: The inherited Germanic hostility verb continues as Old Saxon hate or, in lexicographic description, pursue. The evidence does not establish pursuit as the one earlier or original meaning.
CHRONOLOGY: Proto-Germanic reconstruction into the Old Saxon Heliand and gloss record.
SCHOLAR: Vladimir Orel · Gerhard Köbler · University of Texas Linguistics Research Center
CONFIDENCE: proposed — The branch lexeme and cross-Germanic family are secure, but reconstruction notation, weak-verb subclass history, and the semantic center vary by source.

SOUND: The normalized lemma hatōn abstracts over written infinitive hatan in Munich manuscript M and haton in manuscript C. The macron and final-vowel normalization are editorial analyses; this edge does not claim that one token changed directly into the other.
MEANING: No meaning change is assigned. Both infinitive readings belong to the same reviewed hate verb, while their object dates and manuscript identities remain separate.
CHRONOLOGY: Normalized dictionary lemma over ninth- and tenth-century written evidence.
SCHOLAR: Gerhard Köbler · University of Texas Linguistics Research Center · SET-U manuscript review
CONFIDENCE: established — Köbler explicitly prints hatōn as the entry and hatan or haton as the Heliand 1451 manuscript readings. The Munich hatan pixels were directly inspected.
