Drunken and Sunken

Post by JuanTwoThree » Sun Dec 28, 2008 7:14 pm

I've been making a mental list of those participle-adjective pairs that are slightly different depending on meaning.

(Sad, isn't it? But then some people plane-spot)

So far I've got drunk/drunken, sunk/sunken, proved/proven, blessed/blessed and aged/aged. AmE would include got/gotten. Got any more?

PS rotted/rotten
