Don:
In addition to Carl's two contributions on this topic ( both of which you
should definitely read ) you might like to look at one chapter in:
Taylor, Bernard A., J. A. L Lee, and et al., eds. Biblical Greek Language
and Lexicography: Essays in Honor of Frederick W. Danker. Grand Rapids:
Eerdmans, 2004.
The first name author has a ten-page article: "Deponency and Greek
Lexicography", in which his "Conclusion" begins:
>>For Greek, then, what needs to be laid aside is the notion of deponency<<.
P.S He even mentions ERCOMAI in footnote 25.
