According to the Oxford English Dictionary,  cutted, cuttid and cuttit are all
past tense forms used in middle english in the 15th and 16th century with
the sense of “dividing into two or more parts”.

1490   Caxton tr. Foure Sonnes of Aymon (1885) i. 56   He cutted hym asonder.

and in the sense of making a work shorter:

1584   King James VI & I Ess. Prentise Poesie sig. Kiij,   Maist kyndis of versis
quhilks are not cuttit or broken.

But nothing newer than that is listed in OED, nor does Goggle turn up anything
else. Ian (and everybody else on this list) lived about 400-500 years too late to
encounter it :)
