* Formerly, at least through the 16th century, the past tense of the transitive use of (term) was (hanged) (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" and (hung) for all other meanings. However, this rule is not uniformly understood or observed. (term) is sometimes substituted for (term), which would be considered inappropriate in legal or other formal writing (for the applicable senses only) or, more rarely, vice versa . See also – in Old English there were separate words for transitive (whence (term)) and intransitive (whence (term)).Derived terms
