Note
Because the verb is regular, one spelling serves for both the simple past and the participle. This is the US standard form. Writers who spell the verb neighbour write neighboured instead, so a text should keep to one spelling throughout. As a participle it follows have or be, and in the passive it usually takes by: a valley neighbored by vineyards.
