It is in my books of linguistics. But I doubt about that in that case. I=20
think that sometime volition is a constitutive part of the voice (sometimes=20
the one indeed) not only an optional mood. In some systems volition is=20
crucial, in some others agent/patient distinction, etc. We've discussed this=20
ten times here. Or maybe agentive is a volitive instrumental case ?
