fijan → *fi(j)ēn-

Gothic → Proto-Germanic · inheritance

SOUND
Gothic fijan continues the Germanic fi(j)- stem and class-III weak-verb formation. Written Gothic alternates j-bearing forms such as fijan and fijaiþ with j-less fiaiþ, fiais, fiandans, and fiands.
MEANING
The reconstructed Germanic hate verb continues as a Gothic experience verb taking the hated stimulus as an accusative object; lexicalized enemy formations remain a separate branch.

Lemma fian redirects to fijan

Documents the normalized j-less variant without creating a second verb.

EDGE 1145supportsprobable

fian → fijan

Gothic → Gothic · orthographic variant

SOUND
Written Gothic loses j in some fijan forms before a vowel; the historical lemma fian normalizes that j-less surface pattern.
MEANING
No lexical split is established: both shapes remain one hate verb.
SCHOLAR / EDITOR
Albert Morey Sturtevant · Project Wulfila editors
Lemma fian redirects to fijan

Treats the j-less variant as the same lexeme.
