aux:caus: causative auxiliary
The aux:caus relation links the infinitive verb (i.e. the governor) and the finite causative auxiliary տալ “to make” in a causative construction.
The syntactical subject of the sentence (i.e. the causer) receives a nsubj:caus link.
The initial agent of the action described by the sentence is demoted and will be anotated with an iobj:agent relation.
