aux:caus: causative auxiliary

The aux:caus relation links the infinitive verb (i.e. the governor) and the finite causative AUX 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.
