Sometimes when things in public domain of use as one part of speech, that use more prevalent and okay.
Forbidden also past participle. Two uses (past participle and adjective).
“It [has been] forbidden”: past participle.
“Forbidden love”: adjective.
Depends on placement, use.
[sub]punha not matt_mcl. Accuracy, as with Staff Reports, suspect. English major since January; matt_mcl liguistics major since . . . well, longer.[/sub]
iampunha; Verb in name? iampunha legal poster in this thread?
(important? relevant? not really. oh well. bored.)
Full name not in post; form without first three letters instead:)
Important? Ehh. Relevant? Ehh. Interesting? Yes.
Herewith, a ruling. Verbs in names without significance as to this thread. Totally arbitrary, but so what? Nanny-nanny-nanny.
“Forbidden”: considerations such as Jewish law against even appearance of infraction. such jurisprudence in favour of the avoidance of even quasi-verbal forms such as “forbidden”. Usage of Latinate forms (“avoidance”, etc.) without English verbal morphemes permissible, nay, graceful. Thesauruses (thesauri?) and synonyms key.
To punha: your deference gratefully acceptable.
A funny thread. “Threadspotting,” anyone?
From punha: me sick. brain tired, sore, in pain. result: no worthwhile cranial activity from me. “deference gratefully acceptable” huh? Brain lost.
Yes (agremeent with “no”, not disagreement with “no”). (Sorry, jerenal bad mood recently. Apologies.)

Brain not “lost”, due to the latter’s status as a forbidden verb. Oops!
As for the sentence fragment: from me to you, assurance of its status as a compliment.

Brain then . . . temporarily dead.
"As for the sentence fragment: from me to you, assurance of its status as a compliment."
Yay:) Thankee and other signs of gratitude and appreciation, as when compliment on knowledge of words and their usage from linguistics major present, some basal level of intelligence on the part of complimentee necessary.
I’th’month of April and his showers’ sweet
Dispersion of March’s drought, down to the root,
And succour of each vein with sweet liquor
Of that same virtue parent to the flower;
Month of the force of Zephyrus’s sweet breath,
The inspiration in each holt and heath
Of the tender crops, and of the young sun,
And the halfway point of his Aries run*,
And birds’ artistry in their melody,
And their sleep through the night with open eye,
Due to Dame Nature’s spur in their courages,
In this time, folk’s desire for pilgrimages;
And of palmers’ search for strange strands,
And foreign hallows, couth in sundry lands,
But specially, from every shire, their search
In England for Canterbury’s church,
Of th’holy blissful martyr, in that week,
And for his help, so precious to the sick.
Geoffrey Chaucer (with minor revisions by M. McLauchlin)
*note: “run”'s usage in this case that of the noun, not of the verb.
