Whereas Borges translates Balfour's phrase literally ("servants," "portrait," "beauty," "defects"), he chooses
periphrasis to translate Giles (Giles describes a man who does not care about ornamentation, since his amputated leg already compromises his beauty.
It remains to be determined whether, as Callaway (1913) suggests, VOSende was entirely a syntactic borrowing, or whether OE might have developed its own participle complements, at the same time perhaps as the beon/wesan + participle
periphrasis spread.
Of these forms, 220 were analyzed in this study, specifically those which correspond to the verbal
