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.

ROUTE STAGEDisputed Indo-European comparative horizon
hatred
*ḱeh₂d- and *ḱh₂d-es-
A formal comparison has been proposed across Germanic, Italic, Celtic, Greek, and Iranian material, but the semantic unity is expressly unclear and no point homeland is asserted.
2 EVIDENCE LINKS
The interval is a conventional reconstruction horizon, not a date for one recoverable word or meaning.
AUDIT RECORD ↗Antiquity2 ON THIS PAGE
500 BCE–200 CErange
ROUTE STAGEProto-Germanic linguistic horizon
hatred
*hatiz- and *hatōjan-
The secure comparative family contains a hate or enmity noun and a related verb formation, reconstructed from attested Germanic descendants.
2 EVIDENCE LINKS
The range is linguistic, not an archaeological location or first-use date.
AUDIT RECORD ↗450 CE–1150 CErange
ROUTE STAGEOld English records
hatred
hete and hatian
English records preserve both noun and verb. The later noun hate can be analyzed as direct continuation with remodeling or as a derivative from the verb that replaced hete.
2 EVIDENCE LINKS
The Old English forms are attested; their later lexical convergence is not assigned to one event.

English builds the whole word hatred during the period when the wider X-RÆDEN construction is losing productivity.

hatred
hatred
The opaque compound survives after its second component ceases to function as a productive suffix; modern speakers generally parse neither its condition meaning nor its relation to kindred.
2 EVIDENCE LINKS
The modern-language anchor is conventional and does not imply uniform semantics across every variety.

hassen as hatred and strong aversion
Duden separates person-directed hatred from strong aversion toward things and actions; DWDS supplies modern literary usage. The record is linguistic, not one geographic point.

hassen
Modern hassen centers person-directed hatred and strong aversion, while its dictionaries retain the older action history. This stage is linguistic rather than a single point on a map.

The range models New High German continuity through the currently reviewed dictionaries.
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.
