WHERE INTERPRETATION IS TESTED
CLAIMS & DISPUTES
SCHOLARLY DISPUTES / 11
Does the reduplicated form make *set-u- certain?
No. ἐτήτυμος is attested, but the *setu-mo- and *set-u- stages beneath ἔτυμος remain reconstructed and disputed.
Do 42 candidate tokens measure spoken Gothic frequency?
No. They measure a bounded, fragmentary textual corpus with duplicate manuscript witnesses, biblical translation effects, and unresolved lemma assignments.
Do 26 candidates measure spoken Gothic frequency?
No. They measure a bounded fragmentary textual corpus with biblical translation effects, ambiguous lemma assignments, and duplicate manuscript witnesses.
Are A, B, and Carolinus witnesses separate lexical usage events?
They are separate surviving manuscript tokens, but duplicate witnesses of one passage cannot be counted as independent acts of historical usage.
Was friend always spelled friend?
No. OED and MED inventory friand, freond, frend, frind, vrend, freynd, frynd, and many further forms.
Are frēond, frīond, and frīand separate ancestral words?
No separate lexemes are established here. OED treats them as dialectal reflexes: ēo chiefly West Saxon and Mercian, īo chiefly Northumbrian and Kentish, and īa Kentish unrounding.
Do fēond, fīond, fīend, and fȳnd name separate words?
No. OED explains unmutated dialect forms and i-mutated inflectional forms inside one inherited paradigm, with later analogical remodeling.
Are hatian “hate” and hátian “become hot” one word?
No. Bosworth–Toller lists separate headwords with different vowel quantity, meanings, examples, and Germanic comparisons. Modern typography that drops macrons can hide the distinction.
Are the chase, hurry, and incitement senses separate homonyms?
The reviewed dictionaries treat them as senses of one inherited verb. The semantic bridge from making quarry or people move under pressure to hurrying and inciting is historically plausible, though the dossier does not invent exact dates for every transition.
Are κῆδος and kêdos separate Ancient Greek lexemes?
No. Merriam-Webster uses the Latin-script transliteration kêdos for the same Greek noun that LSJ indexes as κῆδος.
Is ἐτήτυμος a deeper ancestor of ἔτυμος?
No. LSJ classifies it as a poetic reduplicated form for ἔτυμος, not an older proto-form from which ἔτυμος descends.
CONTRARIAN TRUTHS / 1
The longer ancient word is not the deeper root.
LSJ calls ἐτήτυμος a poetic reduplication beside ἔτυμος. Extra syllables can be expressive morphology rather than archaeological depth.

SEARCH IS DISCOVERY, NOT PROOF
EVERY RESULT OPENS A PERMANENT EVIDENCE RECORD.
Matching text only locates a record. It does not raise confidence, settle a dispute, establish cognacy, or turn a source report into direct inspection. Follow the result into its citations and editorial limits.
