aux:caus: causative auxiliary

The aux:caus relation links the infinitive verb (i.e. the governor) and the finite causative auxiliary տալ “to give” in a causative construction. The syntactical subject of the sentence, which corresponds to the causer (external agent) participant of the causative predicate, receives a nsubj:caus or csubj:caus relation.

Ետ տանել զնա առ Հերովդէս։ \n He made take him to Herod (Luke 23:7)
aux:caus(տանել, Ետ)
obj(տանել, զնա)
