Verbs in the passive voice along with their active counterparts have been frequently associated
with couples of converse relations. The present paper disclaims, on historical and inflectional
grounds, the existence of equivalence between them. Although similar, each of these types of
expressions exhibits a significant number of peculiar traits. The main argument put forward states
that formal differences between active and passive forms are a main hindrance to treat them
analogously to converse relations
