pereVEdeno?

[John Dunn]

Further to the points made by Peter Houtzagers, there is also the question of analogy.  People may be queuing up to prove me wrong, but as far as I can tell, there are no verbs in Russian with a past passive participle ending -ёденный or -ёсенный.  There are, however, съЕденный and, at a slight remove, перевЕшенный; in both these forms the absence of ё is also to be accounted for by the fact that the vowel was originally  ѣ (jat'), though that consideration too has long since lost its relevance.

I am not nearly as surprised by the stress shift as I am by the vowel
quality that results.  For reasons I am sure you will appreciate, I
would have maybe expected pereVYOdeno, uVYOzena, vNYOseny, etc.
instead.
