Carl, I am just focusing on this bit, because I have a question.
If the -QH- forms ("passive") have supplanted older -MAI- etc forms
("middle"), how are we to understand the verbs that have aorist forms in
both active, middle and passive?
Are you saying that it is only for those verbs that occur in the "passive"
forms and do not also occur in the "middle" forms where the "passive" has
supplanted the "middle"?
Thanks,
Iver
