Yes, it is APWLLUNTO. I should proofread more carefully. But I guess I am
still confused on how Accordance parses things. I thought they parsed forms
that could be middle or passage in form according to usage, and this seems
to be a clear passive usage. I notice that Bill Mounce's Analytical Lexicon
(Zondervan), p. 96, calls this a passive.
