> compare the phrase "peeled peach" with "hairy-peeled peach"

Is that a rule of grammar, or simply the meanings of the adjectives "peeled" and "hairy-peeled"?

In my mind there are two very distinct patterns:

- Xed Y = a Y that has been Xed, where X is a verb

- Xed Y = a Y that is equipped with an X, where X is a noun.

For the latter pattern, consider examples such as "red-lipped woman", "rosy-fingered dawn", "sharp-toothed pike", "horned owl", etc.
