openproposedposition text
Does κῆδος securely continue *ḱh₂d-es-?
It is a published comparison, not an uncontested fact. Multiple sources place the Greek noun in the family, while the semantic and membership cautions require proposed confidence.

Was Fienden genuinely used for the Devil in Swedish?
Yes. Söderwall gives medieval Devil records, and SAOB gives multiple early-modern uses including the 1526 apposition fiende diefuulen.
resolvedestablishedposition text
Did every Germanic daughter develop a dominant demon sense?
No. Old Norse retains ordinary enemy and multiple supernatural branches, English foregrounds fiend, while German Feind and Swedish fiende remain ordinary enemy nouns.

Do feógean, fiógan, feón, and fión prove separate lexemes?
No. They are presented inside one paradigm or as linked contracted forms. Variation in vowel, spelling, and contraction is evidence about the verb, not a license to multiply headwords.

Could fîant uuesan actually mean hate or wish someone ill?
Yes. AWB glosses the fixed formula as be hostile, hate someone, or wish someone ill and supplies multiple located examples.

Was vijand genuinely used for the Devil in medieval Dutch?
Yes. VMNW has a dedicated Devil branch with multiple located thirteenth-century Lucifer and evil-spirit passages. ONW also lists a possible earlier Devil record.

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.
