Note
An interjection turned into a verb, so its past form simply adds -ed to the sound itself. The verb works with or without an object, so both patterns are open: she shhed the room into silence, or she shhed and pointed. The transitive use also allows a passive (the latecomers were shhed), and the person can be soothed rather than silenced, as with a crying child.
