Is There a Difference Between Active and Passive in a Language?
I don't know of any language that has separate morphology for that is distinct for middle and passive. Like I said some people say Somali has this but it only applies to small number of firms where you have a sort of active middle and Passive. It seems like voice stuff is one thing that where it's likely for something to be repurposed. So yeah yeah yeah definitely. The instant you are reflexive I see myself starts doing anything anything remotely middle like over time it will continue to push its way into new meanings.
