Note
A regular -ed form, so one spelling serves both the simple past (she shivered) and the participle after have (she had shivered). It carries every meaning of its verb, not only trembling: glass or stone can be shivered into splinters, and a sailor shivers the sails by steering close to the wind. Context tells them apart. Cold and fear point to shaking, while fragments and splinters point to breaking.
