ed /ed/ -- a special case. These words aren't actions, they're adjectives, describing something. Think about what "ragged" means as a past tense of "rag" or what "rugged" would mean (what would "to rug" be?). The meanings are closely related, but it's as if the "verb" part happened so thoroughly that it changed the very character of the thing being described.

ragged	rugged	learned	blessed
beloved	dogged	alleged	supposed
