SCHOLARLY DISAGREEMENT
DISPUTE POSITIONS THAT CITE THIS SOURCE
Is the Old High German form directly attested?
Unresolved in the located sources. Bailey prints *hezzen with an asterisk and reconstructs it from Middle High German and cognates, while Duden and the older Kluge entry refer to an Old High German hetzen without visibly marking the form as hypothetical.
vol. 1, data entry “*hezzen”Stars the OHG bridge and reconstructs it comparatively.
Was the formation a causative “make hate” or an action verb “make pursue”?
Both descriptions occur, and their priority is not settled here. Duden analyzes a causative to hassen; Orel derives *xatjanan from the hate noun; Bailey and the medieval record foreground chase or persecution.
vol. 1, data entry “*hezzen”Foregrounds chase and persecution in the reconstruction.

Middle High German → Old High German · historical reconstruction
- SOUND
- The Middle High German verb is projected back to an Old High German weak-verb bridge; the a > e fronting and z spelling are compatible with a j-conditioned High German formation, but the exact written OHG form is disputed.
- MEANING
- The reconstructed bridge carries the chase or persecution value inferred from later German and comparative forms.
