Note
One regular -ed form does double duty. It carries the past tense (she insulted him) and the participle, which takes have in the perfect and be in the passive (he was insulted by the remark). Because the living verb is transitive, someone is always on the receiving end. Older, now obsolete uses meant to assault or attack, or even to leap or trample upon, so earlier texts may use it in a physical sense.
