Vocab question and, like, whatever.

[Big Dave]

Flummoxed.

In this sentence:

'We’d take the Eucalypt, 'Saligna', timber born out of the toughness of the harsh Australian outback and transplanted to the bountiful North Island of New Zealand.'

Is it born or borne?
I meant created, but carried is also right....?

[caesius]

The child was "born" (emerged into life). The mother had "borne" (past participle of bear) her near the "bourn" (rivulet, also spelled "bourne").

So BORN looks like the winner.

[sAsLEX]

Both fit don't they?

[riffer]

Isn't it "born in" or "borne from"?

You could use both, but in this case it sounds like you want born.

Hitcher?

[ManDownUnder]

If I understand this correctly you could use both

"...born out of the toughness..."
or
"...borne of the toughness ..."

FWIW - I prefer the latter. It's "cleaner" to read.

[Hitcher]

Born is right. But a slightly flowery sentence, unless somebody wants the readers to get a hard-on for Aussie lumber.

[MSTRS]

Gum trees are tough. These trees do well in the North Island of New Zealand.
There....much better.

[Pixie]

Born is right. But a slightly flowery sentence, unless somebody wants the readers to get a hard-on for Aussie lumber.

The correct phrase is:....wants the readers to get wood for Aussie lumber.

[Big Dave]

But a slightly flowery sentence,


Shuuut uuuup! In advertising copy? No!

The paragraph concludes with: 'hard wood.'

Serious.

'Stock that has endured fierce drought and flooding rains for millennia, hard wood.'
