npub1rx70rmvsu82fhl8jgd8w5zc9hn26hjeydqq2cuekmteqryf40aas9hacx3 (npub1rx7…acx3) Ok, interesting. I don't recall deponent verbs. Maybe they hadn't been invented yet; I took Latin a really long time ago.
Does that explain "res ipsa loquitur"? We translate that as "the thing speaks for itself," but I always assumed, because of the passive ending, that it literally means "the thing is spoken by itself." But maybe that's another one of those deponent verbs?
