iobj:agent: agentive indirect object

when the latter is the syntactical indirect object of the sentence (this initial agent has been demoted and became an indirect object in the causative construction).

The true agent of the verb շինել տալ “make to build” in the sentence is ինծի “me”.
The causative (infinitive) verb governs the syntactical subject of the sentence (i.e. the causer) with a nsubj:caus relation. The infinitive verb governs the causative auxiliary with an aux:caus relation.
