WHERE INTERPRETATION IS TESTED
CLAIMS & DISPUTES
SCHOLARLY DISPUTES / 12
resolvedestablishedposition text
Is adverb built from the English verb add?
No. Latin adverbium contains the directional prefix ad-, from the Indo-European ad- base, plus verbum. English add is not a component.
resolvedestablishedposition text
Does one revised eDIL entry imply every line has been uniformly re-edited?
No. eDIL says revisions were targeted and that a revised component does not mean an entire entry received uniform revision.
resolvedestablishedposition text
Does dough descend from lady or lady from dough?
Neither. The dough noun and lady’s kneading component follow separate Germanic formations that meet at *dheigh-.
resolvedestablishedposition text
Was an etymologist an ancient Greek professional title?
No. The English agent noun is reported only from the Early Modern period, though its base ultimately contains Greek material.
resolvedestablishedposition text
Is exhume literally structured as out of earth?
Yes at the Medieval Latin level: exhumare is formed from ex, out of, and humus, earth.
resolvedestablishedposition text
Is the -red in hatred the color red?
No. Middle English -rede / -reden continues Old English -ræden, a suffixal or affixoid element denoting state, condition, or quality.
resolvedestablishedposition text
Is husband a native English kinship term built from house plus band?
No. English borrowed a Norse householder compound: hūs plus bōndi or būandi. Band is not a component.
resolvedestablishedposition text
Does kindred descend from kind?
No. The first component is kin, continuing Old English cynn. Kind follows a separate Germanic *kund- and Indo-European *gn̥ə-t- formation; the words meet only at the deeper birth root.
resolvedestablishedposition text
Does the -logue in prologue mean a field of study?
No. Greek prologos is pro- “before” plus logos “speech or discourse”: a speech beforehand. English -logy belongs to the same wider family but is not the component analyzed here.
resolvedprobableposition text
Does ubuntu literally parse as “I am because we are”?
No at the level of word formation. The lexical sources analyze a human stem -ntu and an abstract-noun prefix ubu-; the familiar sentence is a philosophical gloss rather than a component-by-component translation.
resolvedestablishedposition text
Is -al the lexical ancestor of verbal?
No. Latin -alis is a derivational component of verbalis; the lexical base verbum and the suffix have separate graph branches.
resolvedestablishedposition text
Did wife always mean only a female spouse?
No. Old English wīf and Middle English wif could mean woman as well as wife.
CONTRARIAN TRUTHS / 2
RANK 119GRADE Aranked reveal
Lady is not the feminine form of lord.
Old English hlǣfdige shares lord’s loaf component but pairs it with a kneading element, not guardian.
RANK 123GRADE Aranked reveal
Loaf is the word inside both lord and lady.
Old English hlāf continues as loaf and is also the exact historical bread component shared by hlāford and hlǣfdige.
