Very interesting David.I had never heard of the antipassive until your
email.What exactly do the ambient and causative voices mean?

I haven't thought about the other focuses and if and how they could be
passive or active, but I would bet it is possible. Some probably tend to
be passive in nature (such as the beneficial focus). I suspect that if I
tinker with the markers, I can accomplish active or passive with the
focuses.
