>It is because the verb EGEIROMAI is essentially middle (commonly
termed "deponent") meaning "wake up" or "rise up"; the -QH- forms,
although traditionally taught as being "passive" are really both middle
and passive and have to be interpreted in terms of the characteristic
usage of the particular verb in question.

Exactly.
A person needs to remember how to say to their friends
"I woke up today at 7:00 am"
