How can I understand this sentence including "and - otherwise"?
How can I understand this sentence including "and - otherwise"?
This is from my grammar book:
"For example, it does not include very unusual or archaic forms such as girt; nor does it include less common derivatives such as relend. Some irregular -ed participle forms survive only in special contexts, especially in adjectival use(for example sunken in a sunken road; or shaven in a recently shaven chin). We do not note such forms where they are not used as verbs and where the verb from which they are derived is otherwise regular."
I'm wondering how I can understand "and - otherwise" in the following sentence from above excerpt:
"We do not note such forms where they are not used as verbs and where the verb from which they are derived is otherwise regular."
Could you tell me, please?
