Motion result - passed or carried

Is there a difference in using 'motion passed' or 'motion carried' in the minutes? There are instances when both have been used in the organization minutes. We wish to be consistent going forward if there is no difference in the meaning.

RONR(10th ed.) uses the term "adopted," in reference to the form to be used in the minutes. See p. 452, l. 24; p. 455.

The term "carried" is synonymous with "adopted." See p. 31, l. 31-32.

The term for the opposite outcome would be "lost" or "rejected." See p. 31, l. 33-34.

I have amazingly little insight into the terms of the forthcoming 11th edition.

Well, we won't be recommending the use of "passed", since someone may think it means that the motion died for lack of a second.
