1946 B. L. Whorf in H. Hoijer Ling. Struct. Native Amer. 173 The eventive is the distinctive, almost untranslatable voice of the zero form of the k-class and all ambivalents.

1981 Jrnl. Amer. Oriental Soc. 101 467/2 The basic function underlying the uses of the middle voice in Indo-European was that of an ‘eventive’, i.e., that it indicated a process which happened to, or affected a person (the subject), without mention of an effectuating agent.

1996 L. Frazier & C. Clifton Construal vii. 143 Temporal and aspectual markers may be exploited to cast a potential event as an eventive as opposed to a stative.

2002 Linguistics & Philos. 25 780 I will argue that the verb meaning proper should be kept apart from these relations, i.e., eventives should be event types not related to times.
