openprobableposition text
Are hatjan and hatan two Gothic verbs or one fluctuating paradigm?
The located scholarship does not collapse to one answer. Project Wulfila gives separate class-I and class-III lemmas; Orel publishes distinct Germanic formations. Braune says hatan fluctuates between class III and class I, and Wright lists both under the same gloss.

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
Was hatizōn formed from hatis?
Yes as the reviewed grammatical analysis. The University of Texas table explicitly gives hatis, stem hatiz-, and hatizōn; Wright independently classifies the verb as weak class II.
