Note
A past form that doubles its final consonant: swan becomes swanned, like plan and planned. Because the verb is intransitive, the participle pairs with have (she had swanned off) and never turns passive. Almost every swanned belongs to the aimless, airily casual moving about; the American dialect verb meaning "to declare" lives chiefly in the first-person present (I swan), so it rarely appears in this form.
