Usage notes

 * Formerly, at least until the 16th century, the past tense of the transitive use of was  (see quote from King James Bible, above). This form is retained for the legal senses “to be executed by suspension from the neck” and “to execute by suspension from the neck”, with  used for all other meanings.  is sometimes also used in the legal senses, but is proscribed in legal or other formal writing (for those senses). Rarely,  is used for non-legal senses as well, which is also proscribed.  Either  or  can be used for suicidal hangings, with  being slightly more common. See also the etymology.
