To hate, &c.] Or thus, To be affected with hatred and horrour at. For abhor, though arranged in our dictionaries among verbs active, attributes an affection rather than an act of the mind.

To grieve is reckoned a verb neuter; yet in grieving at some misfortune, the mind is not less active than it is in abhorring or loathing an object; which latter verbs are called verbs active.

Better, I think, to keep in mind that the logically proper locution is 'forged X,' that 'forged' is attributive, and that 'forged' is logically parasitic on 'genuine' (199).
