JOURNEY ATLAS ↗FORM / ROUTE / BOUND
1398 REVIEWED EVENTSLANGUAGE
IN TIME.
One cross-word chronology for every defensibly bounded form and journey stage—without converting a vague historical label into a fake year.
A reviewed graph bound, not a claim of an earliest human word.
Only stages with directly cited numeric bounds enter this atlas.
Labels remain visible in Journey Atlas, but not parsed into false years.

WHEN DID THE EVIDENCE LAND?
TWO CLOCKS.
NO FALSE PRECISION.
FORM CHRONOLOGY dates a canonical linguistic form or reconstruction in the lexical graph.
ROUTE CHRONOLOGY dates a geographic or transmission stage in a word’s journey.
They can share an era band, but they are never silently treated as the same kind of claim.

SO reports fiende from the beginning of the 1300s in Skåne-Lagen. The title does not by itself justify one manuscript-production coordinate.

AUDIT RECORD ↗1300 CE–1399 CEcentury
ROUTE STAGEMiddle English anatomical muscle
muscle
Middle English borrowing; 14th c. first-use horizon
Old French muscle enters Middle English as the anatomical word. Merriam-Webster reports a fourteenth-century English first-known-use horizon; the same spelling could also name the mollusk, so the anatomical sense remains explicit.
2 EVIDENCE LINKS
The full fourteenth century is exposed as the source-reported English first-use horizon for the anatomical noun, not as an exact date for every Middle English form or French-to-English contact.
AUDIT RECORD ↗1300 CE–1399 CEcentury
ROUTE STAGEAnglo-French and Middle English host
host
14th c. English receiving-host horizon
Anglo-French oste / hoste carries Latin hospes into Middle English ost / host, where the hospitality noun can still mean host or guest.

The whole fourteenth century is exposed as the reviewed first-known-use horizon for the receiving-host noun, not as an exact date for every Anglo-French or Middle English form.

Anglo-French science or cience enters Middle English for knowledge, learning, ability to know, or a branch of learning.

ROUTE STAGEFrench game name and Middle English chess
chess
14th c. English first-known-use horizon; French route earlier
French plural escheks or eschez, literally the chess “checks,” becomes Middle English chesse, ches, or esches. Persian-to-European game transmission predates the English record.
2 EVIDENCE LINKS
The numeric bound records the cited fourteenth-century English first-use horizon only; it does not date the earlier French formation or every European transmission event.

UNBOUNDED IS
A REAL RESULT.
Stages without source-backed numeric bounds stay in their complete Journey Atlas route, carry an explicit temporal note, and remain absent here until the evidence supports normalization. The missing point is visible work—not permission to guess.
