CLAIMS & DISPUTES
SCHOLARLY DISPUTES / 8
Does an adverb only modify a verb?
No. Modern adverbs can modify verbs, adjectives, other adverbs, prepositions, phrases, clauses, or entire sentences.
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.
Is figurative checkmate a late metaphor?
Not entirely. Merriam-Webster reports Middle English chekmaten with both chess and frustrate senses.
Did feign originally mean only to lie?
No. Its recorded Middle English field includes make, fabricate, make a likeness, dissemble, and pretend.
Does Beowulf 2289 show a demon sense?
No. The directly inspected folio preserves feondes fotlast in a scene where the dragon finds the foe’s footprint. The pixels establish the form and local context, not the entire lexeme.
Do the fixed formulas prove the entire prehistoric derivation by themselves?
No. They are daughter-language evidence compatible with participial history; the Proto-Germanic formation is established comparatively across branches.
Does haton aligned with Latin odisse define the entire verb?
No. It is one bilingual gloss locus. The Heliand supplies distinct syntactic contexts, and a translation equivalent does not recover every sense, construction, or historical stage.
One word for one feeling?
Proto-Indo-European did not preserve a single lexeme matching the entire modern English category LOVE.
CONTRARIAN TRUTHS / 1
Middle Irish cais could mean love or hate—and a separate cais meant eye.
eDIL's first numbered cais headword is explicitly explained as both love and hate. Its glossary evidence equates the form with serc and grádh on the love side and miscais or mioscais on the hatred side; cited passages likewise cross the divide. Most strikingly, one Éigse line is tentatively translated "my love ... is met by hatred(?)", placing the same visible form on both sides while preserving the editor's question mark. Then eDIL's second numbered cais headword breaks the spell entirely: it means eye. The unveiling is not that love and hate were secretly identical. It is that written identity, lexicographic grouping, contextual meaning, and historical ancestry are four different claims.
