I am sorry... I totally forgot to leave my signature.



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?
