Usage notes

 * The form “wound” in the past is occasionally found in reference to blowing a horn, but is often considered to be erroneous. The October 1875 issue of The Galaxy disparaged this usage as a “very ridiculous mistake” arising from a misunderstanding of the word's meaning.
 * A similar solecism occurs in the use (in this sense) of the pronunciation, sometimes heard in singing and oral reading of verse, e.g., The huntsman  his horn.
