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
