Note
One spelling does two jobs: the plain past (she queried the total) and the participle after have or be (the total has been queried). The y of query turns to i before -ed. Passives come naturally from the transitive uses, such as a figure queried as doubtful or a database queried for records. The intransitive ones, simply asking or sending out a query letter, stay active.
