 ===Usage notes===
-''{{term|so}}'' as the accusative of {{l|eore|se}} is virtually never used in spoken language and superseded by {{l|eore|ho}}, unless the speaker is attempting to sound archaic, utmostly formal or is a particularly annoying prescriptivist. However, accusative ''{{term|so}}'' is still socially expected and commonly used in literary contexts, comparable to the [[w:Passé simple|passé simple]] tense in [[w:French language|French]].
+{{l|eore|ho}} and ''{{term|so}}'' are predominantly used in spoken speech as the accusative and dative/instrumental inflections of {{l|eore|se}} respectively, superseding the historical regular accusative ''{{term|so}}'' and dative/instrumental {{l|eore|su}}. However, the historical forms are still socially expected and commonly used in most literary contexts, and may also occur rarely in spoken speech if a speaker is attempting to sound archaic.
