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
Antiquity1 ON THIS PAGE
450 CE–1150 CErange
ROUTE STAGEOld English records
hate
hete and hatian
English preserves a feeling noun and an action verb; Beowulf places the verb beside hostile deeds and injury.
2 EVIDENCE LINKS
The period contains multiple records; no one token is promoted as the first.
AUDIT RECORD ↗Medieval4 ON THIS PAGE
1050 CE–1350 CErange
ROUTE STAGEMiddle High German textual world
hassen
haʒʒen across feeling and persecution contexts
BMZ and Lexer document the weak verb; DWB reports Behaim passages aligned with persecution as well as the later hostile-disposition center.
3 EVIDENCE LINKS
The conventional period contains the source-reported records; no instantaneous semantic change is asserted.
AUDIT RECORD ↗1100 CE–1600 CErange
ROUTE STAGEMiddle Low German comparison horizon
hōti
later höt or höte comparanda
Köbler supplies later hostile, bad, or violent adjectives as comparanda, not as direct proof of one exact Old Saxon-to-Middle-Low-German token chain.
1 EVIDENCE LINK
Conventional language-period envelope; no first or last occurrence is claimed.
AUDIT RECORD ↗1225 CE–1275 CErange
ROUTE STAGEThirteenth-century Old Norse prose traditions
hata
persecution and reciprocal hostility
Páls saga postula and Morkinskinna records show the verb in pursuit and hostile middle-voice constructions.
2 EVIDENCE LINKS
Manuscript ranges anchor the reviewed records without claiming first use.
AUDIT RECORD ↗1350 CE–1996 CErange
ROUTE STAGENew High German textual continuum
Hass
hasz or Haß before the spelling reform
DWB reports hostile-disposition examples from biblical translation, proverb, drama, poetry, and prose traditions, while Duden confirms that the later standard spelling changed.
2 EVIDENCE LINKS
The long interval models spelling and semantic continuation, not one uniform standard or unchanged pronunciation.

ROUTE STAGEEnglish-language hostile senses
hostile
1580 first-known-use horizon onward
From the enemy-related adjective, English hostile expands to unfriendly, oppositional, legal, corporate, workplace, and environmental senses.
2 EVIDENCE LINKS
The open interval begins with Merriam-Webster’s 1580 first-known-use year. It does not imply that every later legal, corporate, social, or environmental extension arose then.
AUDIT RECORD ↗1650 CE–2026 CErange
ROUTE STAGEModern German speech community
hetzen
hetzen
Standard German preserves chase, hurry, and hostile-agitation senses. A global language community is not reduced to one map pin.
1 EVIDENCE LINK
The range marks the Modern German stage rather than uninterrupted evidence for every sense in every year.
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.
