Usage notes
- The contracted form of the past tense marker is used when pronounced as a single consonant (unstressed e). It is archaic; the same suffix is used to contract would or had after a pronoun (see 'd). It is sometimes still used in abbreviated verbs or initialisms that function as verbs such as KO'd.
- Compare 'd.
