nounhistorical form
chá
The Portuguese word for tea, a European cha-type form associated with sixteenth-century Portuguese contact through Macao rather than the Dutch te-type route.

hatis
A Gothic noun conventionally glossed hate, hatred, anger, or wrath. Project Wulfila reports fifteen corpus tokens in three surface forms: hatis, hatiza, and hatize. Its fourteen biblical tokens translate Greek wrath vocabulary rather than supplying a clean mirror of modern personal dislike: Streitberg maps the family chiefly to orgē, assigns Galatians 5:20 to thumos, and leaves Ephesians 4:31 unresolved because both Greek nouns stand together. The visible Gothic paradigm is also historical evidence: Project Wulfila treats hatis as a neuter a-stem, while Fulk analyzes it as an inherited i-stem transferred to the a-stems.

SCHOLARLY DISPUTES / 7
openprobableposition text
Did Arabic šāh pass directly into French?
The Arabic source is well supported, but Merriam-Webster leaves direct borrowing versus mediation through Spanish jaque unresolved.
openprobableposition text
Can the nd-ending alone distinguish enemy from one who hates?
No. The noun and productive participle share surface inflection. Case, complementation, agreement, and context resolve some passages, but Project Wulfila leaves 21 candidates lexically and morphosyntactically ambiguous.
resolvedprobableposition text
Does the contrast miscais prove that bare cais originally meant love?
No. The contrast is evidence that some contexts oppose the forms, but prefixal morphology and a translated contrast do not by themselves recover the oldest sense of bare cais.
resolvedestablishedposition text
Does the eighth-century report date the word's coinage?
No. It is a lexicographic attestation horizon. Inherited cross-Germanic evidence places the formation earlier than the surviving High German record.
resolvedprobableposition text
Are haʒʒēn and haʒʒōn separate unrelated Old High German verbs?
No such split is established. Duden prints both as historical forms of hassen, while the historical sources preserve variant weak-verb formations and spellings.
resolvedestablishedposition text
What does the surviving token mean in context?
It asks whether the audience is angry at Jesus. Project Wulfila aligns hatizoþ with Greek χολᾶτε and English “are ye angry at me”; Streitberg and Wright gloss the verb with anger rather than a general act of hating.
resolvedestablishedposition text
Does the Heliand persecution context define every use of the noun?
No. Genesis supplies a different grammatical environment, and the Saxon Confession places hetias among confessed wrongs beside malice, envy, and slander. One line cannot define the whole lexeme.

RANK 147GRADE Aranked reveal
An 11th-century mention is not an 11th-century mass habit.
Bīrūnī’s report establishes Persian scholarly awareness of čāy; it does not date widespread Persian drinking, and Iranica leaves the adoption mechanism unknown.
