Generic causative construction: [ [ Pn ]PC.i [ [ W ]V.intr_inact -Caus ]V.tr -Absj [ P ]NP.j [ A ]NP.i ]VCC; "A causes V to happen to P."; This is a subtype of the basic transitive construction. P is the causee and A is added to W's valency. If W is an adjective or a positional, the factitive derivation (suffix ) applies. If it is an inactive intransitive verb root, the causative derivation proper (basic allomorph -s ) applies. More dynamic bases do not causativize. Variants of this construction (e.g. #37, 40, 89) have an additional verbal dependent.
