Bill:
Technically, Accordance (or Bible Companion/GRAMCORD for Windows) doesn't
parse at all...James Boyer did, and now I do... (-:
As to why the GRAMCORD parsing reads middle at 1Cor 10:9 is that we/I follow
BAGD as our standard (and if I REALLY disagree, I put it in as an alternate).
BAGD lists only Act and Mid for APOLLUMI, and lists this passage under the
middle. As to why that's true, what Carl said (in this case and before on
voice in previous posts) is right on the money, in my opinion. One of the
ways that BAGD, et.al., determines if a verb is middle only (or passive
only, or middle only deponent, or passive only deponent) is to look and
see what forms the verb occurs in when its in the Aorist/Future (6th
Prin Part), since that's the only place one can see both forms. I haven't
personally chased this one down, but it looks like, acc. to BAGD, this
verb only occurs in the Aor Mid and Fut Mid.
