Note
A regular past form, so one spelling serves both "the cattle lowed" and "the cattle had lowed." In everyday English it almost always belongs to the cattle verb meaning to moo, which takes no object: a herd lows, but nothing is lowed by it. The same spelling can also be the past of an obsolete verb meaning to lower, or of a Scottish dialect verb meaning to burn or blaze, so context decides.
