Drunken and Sunken
Posted: 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
