Note
One regular spelling covers both the simple past and the participle. It serves plain narration (she instanced two rulings) as well as perfect and passive clauses. The passive suits the technical senses. An area is instanced for each party of players, giving every group a private copy. An object is instanced when it is rendered in a batch from shared geometry. In everyday prose it simply means cited, often as proof.
