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.
