On the ELU (English Language Usage) site I came across a rejected request which seemed quite interesting to me personally.
Virtually, the OP's asked for a list of irregular verbs with two past and/or p.p. forms that may have different meanings (e.g., hang - hung/hanged, shine - shone/shined).
The ELU mods closed the question as being not specifically focused.
Gladly, this forum's rules are far more liberal, to say the least, compared to those on that site, rather a snobbish one (IMO).
Besides, there are quite a few experts here who might have helped the OP had he known the right place
to put his/her question at :-)
So, I'm readdressing the request to those local English-language mavens who find it worth their attention.

Please, consider this as my request too:-)

(cost) cost / costed
(bear) borne/born
some text books will probably talk to sped vs. speeded but this is no longer true.
PS: I like the question!

https://grammarist.com/usage/sped-speeded/In real-world, 21st-century usage, writers generally use whichever they think sounds best. Speeded is widely used without up, and sped is likewise used both alone and with up. Sped is about three times as common as speeded, though, which suggests that it remains the safer choice.

VictorB,
I'll give you one more, and then 'retire' :) I can't think of any other cases like that anyway.
the verb 'bid' has two different meanings, as a result, we've got
bid -bid - bid
bid -bade - bidden
Will this classify as an answer to your question as well?

asil,
Thanks ever so much. I'll keep browsing for more, though, if there is anything more to be found.
If anything else pops up...
Anyway, extremely appreciated :-)
To me, enough is as good as a feast.
