Note
One spelling does double duty here: it serves the simple past (she spited them) and the participle after have or had. The verb behind it is transitive, so spited always needs a direct object: someone is spited. An older use, to be angry at or to hate, is now obsolete. Spite as a preposition meaning despite never takes this ending, so spited belongs only to the verb.
