CONTRARIAN TRUTH CLAIMS
RANKED REVEALS THAT CITE THIS SOURCE
One Gothic hate verb survives once—in a command to do good to those who hate you.
Project Wulfila’s only verified hatjan token is hatjandam in Matthew 5:44, directly visible on Codex Argenteus folio 3v. A parallel “love your enemies” command in Luke 6:27 instead uses hatandans from class-III hatan. The translation gloss “hate” therefore hides a genuine grammatical and historical dispute.
*ḱeh₂d- → *ḱh₂d-es- → *hatiz- → *xatjanan → hatjan
Lemma hatan, two occurrence inventoryDocuments the distinct class-III corpus lemma.
Gothic’s two hate verbs trade places across two passages.
The complete surviving hatan corpus contains only hatandane in Luke 1:71 and hatandans in Luke 6:27. In Luke 1, fijandam supplies enemies while hatandane supplies those hating; in Luke 6, hatandans supplies enemies while fijandam supplies those hating. Both Codex Argenteus pages are directly inspected. The lexical swap—and the class-III versus class-I dispute—cannot be represented by one timeless translation arrow.
*ḱeh₂d- → *ḱh₂d-es- → *hatiz- → *xatēnan ~ *xatōjanan → hatan
Lemma hatan and complete two-token inventoryBounds the claim to the current surviving corpus.
SCHOLARLY DISAGREEMENT
DISPUTE POSITIONS THAT CITE THIS SOURCE
Are hatan and hatjan two Gothic verbs or one fluctuating paradigm?
The sources preserve different analytical levels. Project Wulfila gives separate class-III and class-I lemmas; Orel publishes distinct comparative formations. Braune says hatan fluctuates with class-I hatjan, while Sturtevant proposes a specifically Gothic secondary explanation.
Lemma hatan, sw.V.3Separates the class-III lemma.
Are hatjan and hatan two Gothic verbs or one fluctuating paradigm?
The located scholarship does not collapse to one answer. Project Wulfila gives separate class-I and class-III lemmas; Orel publishes distinct Germanic formations. Braune says hatan fluctuates between class III and class I, and Wright lists both under the same gloss.
Lemma hatan, sw.V.3 and two occurrencesSeparates the class-III lemma.
Is the infinitive hatan written in the surviving corpus?
No. The two surviving forms are hatandane and hatandans, both present participles. Hatan is the normalized dictionary citation form assigned by Project Wulfila and the historical grammars.
Lemma hatan and two-token occurrence inventoryDistinguishes the normalized lemma from both written participles.
Does Gothic preserve exactly two historical uses of hatan?
Project Wulfila currently reports exactly two surviving corpus tokens assigned to the lemma. That count does not include lost manuscripts, spoken Gothic, unrecognized variants, or every use in history.
Complete occurrence inventory: hatandane and hatandansDefines the exact bounded corpus count.
Do two surviving tokens prove hatan was rare in spoken Gothic?
No. They measure a bounded and fragmentary textual corpus, not ordinary speech, lost texts, genre distribution, or competition among Gothic hate verbs.
Two-token occurrence inventoryDefines what the surviving count actually measures.
CANONICAL RELATIONSHIP CLAIMS
EDGES THAT CITE THIS SOURCE
hatan → *xatēnan ~ *xatōjanan
Gothic → Proto-Germanic · competing inheritance
- SOUND
- On the inherited analysis, Gothic h and the hat- stem continue the Germanic forms Orel writes with x, while the Gothic class-III paradigm is compared with the reconstructed *xatēnan ~ *xatōjanan alternation.
- MEANING
- The Germanic weak-verb family meaning hate continues in the two surviving Gothic participles, one of which is substantivized as enemies.
