This is one of Hoocąk’s four (periphrastic) causatives. The causative verb hii is by far the most common one, its meaning is that of a coercive causative (A makes U do X), but it is also considered to be the default causative. It’s a valency increasing operation that can be used with both stative and active (intransitive and transitive) verbs.
