This is the less
surprising, since the nature of verbs is such that we
often express the active by the passive form, as in the
case of arbitror (think) and suspicor (suspect), and
the passive by the active, as in the case of vapulo
(am beaten). Consequently the interchange of the
two forms is of common occurrence, and in many
cases either form can be used: for example, we may
say luxuriatur or luxuriat (luxuriate), fluctuatur or
fluctuat (fluctuate), adsentior or adsentio (agree).
