Note
A regular -ed form, so one spelling covers both jobs. It stands alone in the simple past (the bell donged at noon) and follows have or had in perfect tenses (the bell had donged twice). It belongs only to the verb for a low, metallic ring. The nouns spelled dong, Vietnam's currency and the slang words for the penis or a fool, have no verb, so donged never carries those meanings.
