hie
hie - English
Alternative forms
- heye, high (obsolete)
Pronunciation
Verb
hie (third-person singular simple present hies, present participle hying or hieing, simple past and past participle hied)
Usage notes
Unlike most reflexive verbs, “hie” generally takes the simple object pronouns rather than the reflexive pronouns. Thus “we hied us” and “hie you,” rather than “we hied ourselves” and “hie yourself.” This peculiarity most likely arises from a sense that the poetic connotations of “hie” accord well with the archaic practice of using object pronouns with reflexive verbs.
