Note
One spelling does double duty here, serving as both the simple past and the participle after have. Only the transitive uses can be passive: a schemer whose trick has been discovered has been rumbled, and parts tumbled in a polishing machine are rumbled too. The sound and movement senses, and the slang sense of brawling, are intransitive, so they take have but never be: thunder had rumbled, never was rumbled.
