“1) as a causative make known, reveal, declare (LU 2:15);” (Page 100)

“It has been suggested that it is more appropriate to call this category the dynamic middle, since the meaning in the verb involves significant movement that comes back in some way to cause the agent of the action also to become affected by that action. In other words, an emphasis is put on reflexive action, and the subject, when he is the agent of the action, becomes the center of gravity. The agent does something that benefits himself. The action is not transferred away from him, since the action in the verb does not pass through to affect an object that is only outside of him. He stays involved. For example, in the verb fight, the action in the verb is meaningless unless the subject stays involved in that action (recall the saying ‘It takes two to fight’).” (Page 426)
