Hi conlangers
A throwaway comment on a Wikipedia page about grammatical voice said
something like "ergative languages often have a passive voice as well
as an antipassive", but didn't give any examples.
Does anyone know of an erg lang that has a passive in addition to (or
instead of) an antipassive, and what the difference between the two
is?
TIA
Jeff
