CLAIMS & DISPUTES
SCHOLARLY DISPUTES / 5
Could medieval haʒ describe friendly competition?
Yes in one cited Erec context. DWB quotes riders who friuntlîchen striten and calls their contest bescheiden haʒ, rivalry in pursuing a goal. This does not make every medieval use friendly.
Was fēond still just an ordinary Old English present participle?
No. OED classifies it as a strong masculine agent noun originally in the nd-class, and cross-Germanic evidence places lexicalization before Old English. Its participial origin remains historically visible without erasing noun status.
Does the asterisk in Project Wulfila’s lemma *liufs mean Gothic itself is reconstructed?
No. Project Wulfila links the normalized lemma to 33 inflected occurrences in surviving Gothic manuscripts. The citation form is inferred, while the lexeme and its inflections are attested.
Does robot literally mean orphan?
No. Robot descends immediately from Czech compulsory labor. Orphan belongs to a remote comparative family around transferred status, dependency, and bereavement; a distant root relationship is not a modern definition.
Is /kɛ̂ː.dos/ recorded ancient pronunciation?
No. It is a normalized scholarly approximation based on the written form and historical phonology, not audio from an Ancient Greek speaker.
CONTRARIAN TRUTHS / 1
A husband was a householder before he was a spouse.
English borrowed Old Norse hūsbōndi, house plus householder; spouse meaning grew from household status.
