You may call it       a past participal in the second instance, because it       partakes of the verb, or, is partially a verb. Analyse the       present-tense example, if you like it more: "I will have her       cut my hair," where `cut' is a verb beyond the faintest       shadow of a doubt.              ---         * Origin: nntp://news.fidonet.fi (2:221/6.0)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 10/0 1 15/0 90/1 102/401 103/1 705 105/81 106/201 123/131       SEEN-BY: 129/305 153/7715 154/10 214/22 218/0 1 215 700 720 840 850       SEEN-BY: 218/860 870 880 930 221/1 6 226/30 227/114 229/110 112 113       SEEN-BY: 229/206 307 317 426 428 470 664 700 240/1120 266/512 282/1038       SEEN-BY: 291/111 301/1 113 305/3 317/3 320/219 322/757 335/364 341/66       SEEN-BY: 341/234 342/200 396/45 460/58 712/848 5020/400 1042 5075/35       PATH: 221/6 301/1 218/700 229/426           |
