openestablishedexact word
Does the proposed cognacy prove that hate originally meant care?
No. Formal comparison does not recover one original semantic scene, and the reviewed sources explicitly call the semantic relations opaque or disputed.
openprobableexact word
Is the marriage sense simply the original meaning of every Homeric token?
No. LSJ says some marriage-based explanations of Iliad 13.464 and related passages are wrong and directs those uses back to anxiety or grief.
openproposedexact word
Is κῆδος derived from κήδω, or is the verb derived from the noun?
LSJ parenthetically links κῆδος with κήδω, whose active and middle-passive senses span distress and care, but the located entry does not fully argue one diachronic direction.
openproposedexact word
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.
openproposedexact word
Are Celtic cais or cás unquestionably cognate with κῆδος?
No. They occur in a published wider comparison, but semantic breadth and branch membership remain debated.
openproposedexact word
Are Germanic hate words unquestionably cognate with κῆδος?
No. The formal comparison is prominent enough to traverse, but the sources explicitly qualify the semantic path and do not recover one shared original sense.
openestablishedexact word
Can care, grief, mourning, affinity, and hate be ordered as one proven semantic chain?
No. The Greek senses are attested, but their internal chronology and the cross-branch prehistoric sequence are not recoverable as one linear ladder.
resolvedestablishedexact word
Is κῆδος an attested Ancient Greek noun?
Yes. LSJ supplies a full neuter-noun entry, Doric κᾶδος, and citations from Homer onward; Scaife independently exposes the Iliad 1.445 line.
resolvedestablishedexact word
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.
resolvedestablishedexact word
Did κῆδος itself mean Germanic-style hate?
Not in the reviewed Greek lexical record. Its central cited meanings concern care, grief, trouble, mourning, funeral obligation, and affinity.
resolvedestablishedexact word
Could κῆδος mean connection by marriage?
Yes. LSJ cites Herodotus, Aeschylus, Euripides, Sophocles, Philo, and Thucydides for affinity or contracting marriage.
resolvedestablishedexact word
Could κῆδος name funeral rites or mourning?
Yes. LSJ supplies a dedicated sub-sense with Homeric, lyric, tragic, historical, oratorical, philosophical, and inscriptional evidence.
