In the Hopi Dictionary the term "archaic" refers to speakers' judgments
regarding words appropriate to a style of speech. Litergical English is
such a style; cf. "thou art", which I imagine vitually all present-day
speakers would jugge as "archaic" even though used in that style by
present-day speakers.
