The causative predicate is formed through suffixation of /sase/. The causer is case-marked in the nominative. The subject in the corresponding active sentence, i.e., causee, is case-marked in the accusative or the dative. Case-marking of causee depends on the transitivity of the embedded verb. When the embedded verb is intransitive, causee is case-marked in the accusative. When the embedded verb is transitive, causee is case-marked in the dative. The; case-marking of the internal argument of the embedded verb remains intact.
