RANK 27GRADE Acontext
The Old English verb survives most visibly as an enemy.
The located weak-verb corpus inventory gives hettan only one form: hettende. Bosworth–Toller records that surface family repeatedly under hettend, “enemy” or “antagonist,” including Genesis and the Phoenix. The verb is therefore not a neat recovered paradigm; it is a lemma inferred at the edge between action, agent, and lexicalized foe.

DISPUTE POSITIONS THAT CITE THIS SOURCE
resolvedsupportsestablished
Does the Phoenix hettende establish the first use of hettan?
No. It is one edited poetic occurrence of an ambiguous form. Without a complete witness comparison and direct manuscript inspection, it cannot establish the first token of the lemma.
