205. What is the third way?
The third way in which causal verbs are formed is by
adding 'vi', 'ppi'.
| Ex: from |
'ar̥i' (=know), 'ar̥ivikkŭ' or 'ar̥iyikkŭ' (= cause to know, inform); |
| ,, | 'káṇ' (=see), 'káṇpnikkŭ' or 'káṇikkŭ' (= cause to see); |
| ,, | 'chol' (=say), 'cholvikkŭ' or 'chollikkŭ' (=cause to say); |
| ,, | 'ká' (= watch), 'káppikkŭ' (= cause to watch); |
| ,, | 'o' (= agree), 'oppikkŭ' (= cause to agree). |
206. Has each verbal root only one causal form?
No; one verbal root sometimes has several causal forms.
| Ex: from |
'naṭa' (=walk etc.), naṭattŭ, naṭappikkŭ (= cause to walk, lead); |
| ,, | 'varŭ' (= come), varuttŭ, varuvikkŭ (= cause to come, bring). |
From one causal we can make another causal.
Ex: naṭattippikkŭ (= cause to lead);
varuttippikkŭ (cause to bring).
