Can we please use a different example? That one disturbs me. Would there be any objection to a non-biblical example? --Apple1976 00:17, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure what is disturbing about the example, but you are certainly free to change it, just make sure it is at least as illustrative as the current example. - [The]DaveRoss 00:21, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"to foreskin" means "to remove a foreskin" and "foreskinned" means "having a foreskin"... This doesn't make sense, so I am asking for verification of the verb, since the adjective is already properly sourced. Robin van der Vliet (talk) (contribs) 19:51, 13 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It can make sense, e.g. "hatted" = having/wearing a hat. -ed has many meanings. Equinox 20:04, 13 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
"hatted" makes sense, since "to hat" means "to put on a hat", it does not mean "to remove a hat". Robin van der Vliet (talk) (contribs) 20:21, 13 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It makes me think of a similar problem with French plumer: I don't know why it means exactly the opposite of what it "should" mean. --Barytonesis (talk) 20:23, 13 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I added two cites for this meaning, and two for another, but can't find a third for either meaning. Kiwima (talk) 01:46, 23 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
