Note
A verb made straight from the noun for a female godparent, so one regular -ed ending does double duty: she godmothered the twins (simple past), she has godmothered three children (perfect), and the twins were godmothered by an aunt (passive). Because the verb is transitive, it takes the person sponsored as its object, and that is what makes the passive possible.
