Default Re: prompted, prompting

Dear David L.

Thank you for your due backing.

I allow oneself to switch the conversation in another direction. I know what is the meaning of "prompting thought". I know what is the meaning of "prompted thought". But I wander at the following combination of words: prompted, prompting thought.

Let's see a more simple example:He answered through the locked door.
He answered through the locking door.
He answered through the locked, locking door.

Do you see some sense in the last three sentences?

V.
