Note
A regular past form doing double duty: it is the simple past (she lorded it over them) and the participle after have (she had lorded it over them). The domineering meaning dominates, almost always in the fixed pattern lord it over, with an empty it and over before the person dominated. The rarer transitive meaning, to make someone a lord, is the one that allows a passive: he was lorded by the king.
