		The verb "is trampled" is in the Passive voice.
		However, for many of these so-called deponent verbs, it may well be that the Greek speaker really had a perspective on the action that made a middle voice appropriate, even though in modern English we would tend to describe the action using an active voice.
		That is, we will call them deponent verbs for the sake of convenience and consistency with the terminology found in most beginning grammars.

		Deponent verbs are unusual only in this respect: they drop most of their active forms, and its passive forms must be translated as if they were active.
		A deponent verb is a verb which in fact lacks most of its active forms, so the dictionary entry for it will have to rely only on its passive forms.
		The only difference is that deponent verbs have "set aside" their active finite forms and the remaining passive forms are translated as it they are active.

		For example, the verb vescor originally meant "I feed myself," whence it came to mean "I eat." The originally reflexive nature of these verbs, however, often is not recognizable in their usage in classical Latin.
		Consequently, as far as function is concerned, deponent verbs have no perfect passive participles (having been urged), just as there is not a perfect active participle with regular verbs (e.g.
		A few verbs are regular (not deponent) in the present system (present, imperfect, and future) but deponent in the perfect tenses.

		Shunned by other verbs for their treachery, they were forced into hiding and thus missed the boat which carried over all the others into modern languages.
		You see, deponents can only have passive forms ("he is called" instead of "he calls") but they are always translated as active.
		Only one deponent managed to find a home in English; it lives in the expression non sequitur, which is used to describe something which does not follow logically.

	Appendix I
		These verbs are conjugated in about the same way, except that the future does not use the tense sign -bi-, but simply uses the stem ending in e (changed to a in the first person singular, with personal ending -m instead of -o).
		Verbs are generally classed as belonging to one of four conjugations, depending on the endings of the infinitive.
		The Latin verb system is so convenient that it survived in large part in later languages that grew up around it, such as Spanish, Italian and French, although the passive endings disappeared and auxiliary verbs came into use to signal tense and mood.

		That is, the Latin verbs are intransitive, whereas the English verbs are transitive.

		CHAPTER 34 "Deponent Verbs; Ablative with Special Deponents" DEPONENT VERBS There are many verbs in Latin which have almost no active forms but which nevertheless must be translated as if they were active.
		Here is the dictionary entry for the deponent verb "to urge." "hortor, -ari, hortatus sum" >From the first entry you can tell the verb is deponent because the dictionary is giving you the passive first person singular instead of the active.
		But the participle "hortatus" is entirely predictable, since first conjugation verbs form their perfect passive participle by adding "-tus" to the stem of the first principal part -- in this case "horta-." There are deponent verbs belonging to all four conjugations.

	OLC III.36: Deponent Verbs
		Deponent verbs are passive in form but active in meaning.
		If you see a verb with a passive ending that nevertheless has what seems like a direct object construed with it, there's a good chance that you have a deponent verb.
		That form is part of the third principal part of a deponent verb, so to repeat it as a separate, fourth principal part is considered superfluous.

	greek voice
		In general, the voice of the verb may indicate that the subject is doing the action (active), receiving the action (passive), or both doing and receiving (at least the results of) the action (middle).
		For the simple verb, sometimes the gloss cause to can be used before the verb and its object; in such cases it is sometimes best to convert the verb to a passive (e.g., he causes him to be baptized).
		A deponent middle verb is one that has no active form for a particular principal part in Hellenistic Greek, and one whose force in that principal part is evidently active.

		To create imperative forms of deponent verbs, start with the 2nd person forms of the present tense, i.e., the "YOU" forms.
		To command a single person, remove -is from the 2nd person singular form of the deponent verb and replace it with -e.
		The singular imperative may look like an active infinitive but -- of course -- it can't be because deponent verbs never appear in active form.

		So, deponent verbs look like they are passive verbs, but they are not passive.
		Deponent verbs may look passive, but they can, and do, take objects.
		So, when you are dealing with deponents you have to recognize the passive ending for what it is, but without concluding that this is a passive verb: you need to recognize the passive ending, but you also need to be ready to find that the verb has a direct object.

		This verb form is peculiar to Latin but one which is easy to recognize when learning principal parts.
		Remember that these verbs look like passive voice verbs but are translated into English in the Active Voice.
		Since the Latin verb has no active form there is no perfect active form which we usually recognize as the third principal part.

	Glossary of Grammar and Syntax
		One further feature of deponent verbs that beginning students must bear in mind is that their perfect participles are nearly always translated as if they were in the present tense.
		Verbs in subordinate clauses that require the subjunctive mood show action relative to the time of the main verb; they'll show time before it, after it, or contemporaneous with it.
		The mood of the verbs in such protases is always indicative, and the mood of the verb in the apodosis is almost often indicative, although it's not always necessary indicative.

		A verb is always involved in this use, and in English a predicative adjective always, in prose, follows the noun or pronoun it qualifies, generally with the verb coming between them: men are mortal, Caesar was bald.
		Deponent A deponent verb is one which is middle or passive in form (see Voice) but active in meaning.
		English verbs such as to break are comparable; break- is the present stem and to it the ending of the third person singular is added (giving breaks); brok- is the past stem, giving us brok-en for the past participle.

		The middle of this verb does not designate “self-interest”; it is deponent (deponent means the verb is middle or passive in form, but active in meaning).
		The argument is that pauvw in the future is deponent, and that the change in verbs is merely stylistic.
		In sum, the deponent view is based on some faulty assumptions as to the labeling of pauvsontai as deponent, the parallel in Luke 8:24, and even the meaning of deponency.

	Re[2]: Active, deponent, passive (Site not responding. Last check: )
		My intent was simply to show that English demonstrates passive verb forms that accept direct objects, where we would require students to parse the verb as passive, despite the apparent transitivity.
		The parsing of a Greek deponent verb, in turn, would by analogy be better parsed as the actual voice that appears rather than as the multivalent and/or ambivalent "deponent" label, which also fails to distinguish middle from passive.
		Therefore, I think it is a mistake to suggest that deponency is established on the basis of an object-like nominal co-occurring with a passive verb form.

		Deponent verbs (in any tense) will have meanings that are active, and forms that are middle or passive.
		The verb in the example, εὔχομαι, means "I pray" even though it looks, based on the personal ending, like it should be middle or passive.
		That is, the middle voice is used to express an action that closely involves the (grammatical) subject of the verb.

		NOTE: Deponent verbs are active in form but passive in meaning.
		Reduplicating verbs are those Latin verbs that form their perfect tenses by repeating their initial sound in the creation of the 3rd principal part.

		Deponents are the “special” verbs of the Latin World.
		Deponents are defined as “a verb form that looks the way a passive verb would be formed, but strangely enough translate actively,” ALL THE TIME!!!!
		The importance of deponents is that they are able to take direct objects, which passive verbs are cannot, and therefore are extremely pertinent to the Latin Language as a whole.

	Lesson 15
		Two keys are helpful: 1) that Middle voice is almost exclusively used for "Deponent Verbs" (verbs written Middle but translated active) means that unless I have a deponent verb, I should assume the ending is passive.
		The concept of Deponent verbs, verbs that are written in the Middle, but translated as though they are active is an important one, since such verbs are very frequent.
		These verbs will also be the topic of work in Lessons 16 and 17, which introduce Imperative and Seondary forms.
