<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Can anyone explain to me why in Mounce's Text, on
page 168, in the discussion about Liquid verbs, the Future Middle and the
Present Active have the same translation in English?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>menw~ = I will remain&nbsp; (FAI)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>menou~mai = I will remain (FMI)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If the FMI is deponent, I can see the translation,
but if that is so, why is there a FAI form? Wouldn't the FMI-D replace
it?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks for the help...</FONT></DIV>
