6 Middle-Passive in English
Voices in English: Active (The subject does the verb’s action) “Bill hits the ball.” Passive (The subject receives the verb’s action) “Bill is hit by the ball.” Usually formed by adding the word “by” and often followed by a prepositional phrase (e.g. “by the ball.”)

When sandwiched between two vowels, a sigma will often drop out. leaving us with λυεαι. the ε and α then contract and the ι subscripts, yielding λυῃ This contraction takes place in all regular, present tense, mid-pas verbs.

11 Deponent Verbs Definition: Verbs that have a Mid-Pass form but an active meaning. e.g. ἔρχομαι - I come, go You will know them by vocab. If the lexical form (the one in your vocab list) is passive, it’s a deponent verb. Parse deponent verbs as “deponent” in the voice category.
