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.

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
fjá
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
fjá
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 ↗Medieval4 ON THIS PAGE
700 CE–1200 CErange
ROUTE STAGEOld Norse linguistic horizon
fjá
early fía into poetic fjá
The lexical sources preserve an early form and later headword without one dated transition or point of origin.
900 CE–1300 CErange
ROUTE STAGEOld Norse poetic transmission
fjá
Hýmiskviða 22: goð fjá
The active verb occurs in a normalized Eddic verse about the world-serpent that hates the gods; no manuscript coordinate is manufactured.
2 EVIDENCE LINKS
A broad poetic-transmission horizon because no exact composition date or manuscript object was verified here.
AUDIT RECORD ↗900 CE–1300 CErange
ROUTE STAGEOld Norse poetic transmission
fjá
Lokasenna 35: mangi fíár
The finite form appears in a normalized verse meaning that no one hates the son; the record is not converted into a false first-use date.
900 CE–1300 CErange
ROUTE STAGEOld Norse poetic transmission
fjá
Skírnismál 33: Freyr fiásk
The reflexive form appears in a normalized curse stanza; active and reflexive grammar remain visible without inventing separate origins.
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.
