Note
One spelling serves both directions of the verb. A lamp hangs on its own: it is suspended, or floats, or a ball hangs after a slow rebound. A person hangs something: a picture on a hook, or a head held bowed. The present tense never has to choose between these. The choice arrives only in the past, where hung serves objects and hanged is kept for executions.
