This construction is coded with an -st form, originally a cliticization of the reflexive pronoun. The alternation mostly involves simple transitive verbs which becomes intransitive through the addition of the -st morpheme, denoting a middle reading, but this construction can also have intransitive verbs as input. With some verbs he former subject be added as accusative argument optionally (cf. ex.147).
