Dr. Conrad,

I have read the paper on deponecy that you provided to the list a while ago.  Unless I just don't understand, I believe that you are saying that there is no such thing as a deponet verb, but that these verbs labeled as such are really middle or passive.  They are not active.  

ERCOMAI being one of those miss-labeled verbs, in the aorist has an active ending- HLQON.

Am I not understanding something here?  Is it that, when classifing verbs, only the lexical form is under consideration?
