The Proto-Indo-European mediopassive does not continue in Old English. However, some instances of the periphrastic passive can hardly be interpreted as such. Although morphologically identical to the beon/wesan passive (or more marginally to the weorðan passive), these occurrences allow for non-passive interpretations, i.e. reflexive-middle (cf. Cennamo 2015: 452, where she argues for a ‘reflexive-middle’ continuum) or non-causal.
