Note
One spelling, two verbs: the form can mean told in detail, as a witness recounts a night, or counted again, as officials recount votes. Context sorts them out. Memories, stories and events are recounted in the telling sense, while ballots and totals are recounted in the counting one. It serves as simple past (she recounted) and, after have or be, as perfect and passive (the votes were recounted).
