@Steve:  You wrote

But dude, GENESQW is undoubtedly traditionally MIDDLE in form. So if 
you subscribe to traditional ideas on voice, you must accept that it is 
middle, not passive. Did you understand the point I was making in 
comparing GENHQHTW in Mt 26.42 with GENESQW in MPoly 7.1?


Response:  Actually no I did not, I was reading along and when I got to Matthew I looked it up and replied to that only.  After that I closed the email and went on to read something else.  But you make a good point.

But for clarification basically what you guys are argueing for is that certain QH passives are not always passive but sometimes can be translated as middle?

And some middle forms of verbs can be translated as passives?  Especially amonst words like GINOMAI etc.  

That is the arguement in a nutshell right?
