CONTRARIAN TRUTH CLAIMS
RANKED REVEALS THAT CITE THIS SOURCE
RANK 42GRADE Asupports
The ordinary Old Norse enemy outlived the finite hate verb behind it.
ONP classifies fjá as poetic and exposes no prose citations. Cleasby, Fritzner, and Lexicon Poeticum converge on three Eddic contexts, while normalized texts preserve active fjá, finite fíár, and reflexive fiásk. Cleasby then points to fjándi as the participial relative that remained across Germanic. ONP gives that separate enemy noun 222 prose citations and a large semantic range. The two corpus totals are not directly frequency-comparable, and neither proves an exact extinction event; together they reveal the asymmetry between a tiny finite-verb record and the prolific lexicalized enemy branch.

SCHOLARLY DISAGREEMENT
DISPUTE POSITIONS THAT CITE THIS SOURCE
opencontextprobable
Did fía become fjá at one exactly recoverable moment?
No exact date or complete phonetic sequence is established. Zoëga calls fía the early form and ONP cross-references it, which supports a historical surface relation but not a point event.
Glossarium link: ÁBlM item fíaIndependently points to the earlier surface.
resolvedsupportsestablished
Was Old Norse fjá a verb?
Yes. ONP classifies it as a poetic verb; Cleasby, Zoëga, and Fritzner all gloss it as hate and document finite or reflexive grammar.
Headword fjá vb. poet.Classifies the word as a poetic verb.
resolvedsupportsestablished
Does ONP contain prose citations for fjá?
No. The public ONP lemma marks the word poetic and displays zero citations across every expected prose genre.
Expected genres: every prose category 0 (0)Directly exposes the zero-citation prose record.
resolvedsupportsestablished
Do the three poetic verb records and 222 fjándi prose citations form a direct frequency comparison?
No. They come from different public corpora with different genres, coverage, editorial states, and counting rules.
ONP prose dictionary: zero fjá citationsDefines one side of the non-equivalent corpus contrast.

Is *fi(j)ēn- an attested Old Norse spelling?
No. It is a normalized Proto-Germanic reconstruction used to explain the daughter-language set.
Glossarium link: EDPG *fi(j)ēn-Shows ONP explicitly distinguishes the reconstructed comparison from the attested lemma.
resolvedchallengesestablished
Are hata and fjá forms of one Old Norse verb?
No. Both can be glossed hate, but hata belongs to the Germanic hat- family while fjá continues the different fi(j)- verb family.
ONP fjá links to EDPG *fi(j)ēn-Places the other Old Norse hate verb in a different family.

CANONICAL RELATIONSHIP CLAIMS
EDGES THAT CITE THIS SOURCE
EDGE 1219supportsprobable
fjá → fía
Old Norse → Old Norse · historical surface development
- SOUND
- The early form fía develops into fjá through North Germanic contraction and glide-vowel remodeling. The reviewed lexical sources publish the earlier and later surfaces but do not expose a dated sequence of intermediate written forms.
- MEANING
- The verb remains in the hate field; active and reflexive constructions distribute the participant structure differently without creating separate prehistoric roots.

- Geir T. Zoëga · Dictionary of Old Norse Prose editors
Glossarium links: ÁBlM item fíaIndependently cross-references the lemma to fía without assigning an exact transition date.
EDGE 1220supportsprobable
fía → *fi(j)ēn-
Old Norse → Proto-Germanic · inheritance
- SOUND
- Old Norse fía and fjá continue the reconstructed Germanic fi(j)- verb after North Germanic vowel, glide, contraction, ending, and inflectional developments. The attested surfaces are not treated as one mechanically complete sound law.
- MEANING
- The inherited hate or hostility verb remains finite in three poetic contexts; the reflexive fiásk marks a syntactic development rather than a separate ancestral lexeme.
