Detail #24: Voice Morphology on occasional nouns

I came up with an idea that kind of provides a possible road down which to take the question of challenge #3.

Reusing voice morphology on some nouns. It should be somewhat restricted which nouns do this, and there's no need that each noun take every form. In a language with this feature, it's no fun if the nouns and verbs tend to share a lot of roots already.

boss.passive = employee, servant
boss.reflexive = self-employed, independent
boss.mediopassive =  some kind of neurotic?
