John,
In regard to your example (using the suffix "-to" as indicating a middle)

I hitto by Joe. (middle voice)
There is now energy moving, it is coming from Joe (we can see that in the construction of the sentence) to me; before I was smiling, now my face is all bloody. I can feel that energy.
I apologize for the length. [Length adjusted -- GfS]

Would this not be a passive? If I were to say [again, using your suffix "-to" to indicate middle], "I hitto myself when the ball rebounded off the wall." this would be a middle.

Therefore, O faithful Christian, search for truth, hear truth,
learn truth, love truth, speak the truth, hold the truth,
