THE TIMELINE ATLAS
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.
005 MATCHING EVENTS
FILTER THE CHRONOLOGY
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.

THE EVIDENCE IN TIME
Prehistory1 ON THIS PAGE
4500 BCE–2500 BCErange
ROUTE STAGEProposed Indo-European linguistic horizon
fīēn
proposed *peh₁- comparison
The deepest route is a comparative linguistic proposal, not a word recovered at one archaeological site.
Antiquity1 ON THIS PAGE
500 BCE–200 CErange
ROUTE STAGEProto-Germanic linguistic horizon
fīēn
reconstructed *fi(j)ēn-
Cross-branch evidence places the hate verb before the separate written Germanic traditions.
1 EVIDENCE LINK
Comparative bounds, not a directly dated spoken token or single coordinate.
AUDIT RECORD ↗Medieval3 ON THIS PAGE
750 CE–799 CEcentury
ROUTE STAGEAlemannic manuscript world
fīēn
eighth-century fîên records
AWB says the verb occurs only in Alemannic manuscripts of the eighth and ninth centuries; individual records are not converted into invented modern coordinates.
1 EVIDENCE LINK
A dictionary-reported manuscript horizon, not an exact token date or object inspection.
AUDIT RECORD ↗800 CE–899 CEcentury
ROUTE STAGEAlemannic manuscript world
fīēn
ninth-century fîên records
Infinitive, present-participle, preterite, and past-participle records remain visible within the same bounded Alemannic evidence pocket.
1 EVIDENCE LINK
A dictionary-reported manuscript horizon rather than a claim that every cited record belongs to this entire century.
AUDIT RECORD ↗900 CE–1050 CErange
ROUTE STAGEOld High German lexical boundary
fīēn
no securely identified continuation after the reviewed pocket
The reviewed source does not establish one exact extinction event, last speaker, or later High German descendant of this verb.
1 EVIDENCE LINK
An evidence gap after the bounded record, not a dated death certificate for the verb.
AUDIT RECORD ↗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.
