openestablishedposition text
Was emoticon first used in 1987 or only by 1992?
Merriam-Webster reports first known use in 1987; Etymonline reports the word by January 1992 and quotes an August 1992 explanation.
openprobableposition text
Does the specialist title begin in 1604 or the 1630s?
Merriam-Webster reports 1604; Etymonline reports the 1630s. These are different source horizons, not necessarily irreconcilable claims about the same underlying object.
resolvedestablishedposition text
Did friend always mean only an intimate non-relative companion?
No. OED and MED document ally, supporter, patron, relation, lover, address, and other uses beside close companion.
resolvedestablishedposition text
Were the Cotton, Vatican, Genesis, and Saxon Confession objects directly inspected?
No. Their readings are source-reported through Köbler or the Academy dictionary; no exact primary-object pixels were inspected for those four rows.
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.
resolvedestablishedposition text
Is hogan a generic word for any Indigenous hut?
No. English borrowed Navajo hooghan, and the living word carries a Diné home and house meaning with a specific traditional cultural frame.
resolvedestablishedposition text
Is the immediate Latin source a participle or a verb stem?
Merriam-Webster names Late Latin humiliatus, the past participle of humiliare; American Heritage summarizes Late Latin humiliāre, humiliāt-. These are compatible levels of the same formation, not evidence for two unrelated ancestries.
resolvedestablishedposition text
Does κῆδος have one simple English definition?
No. LSJ separates care or concern, anxiety and grief, troubles, funeral rites and mourning, an object of care, and connection by marriage.
resolvedestablishedposition text
Does Iliad 1.445 prove the first use of κῆδος?
No. It proves a line in a modern digital critical text and an ancient textual tradition, not the earliest surviving physical token or the word's invention.
