Usage notes

The form domie in the locative and vocative is considered dated.

It must be noted, however, that -ie is the regular and productive locative suffix in modern Polish for roots ending with -m or -n. This is reflected in derived terms, such as brand names ending with -dom, and place names (e.g. Dom), for which the ending is always regularized to -ie in the locative.

Compare syn and pan for the same exception.
