Causative

In some languages, there are morphological and syntactic devices that change a verb of doing into a verb of causing. This device is called the causative.

The causative form of the verb in Sanskrit (Skt. n.ijanta) is the form used when the subject of a clause forces or makes another object perform an action. This is comparable to the English usage of "have" + infinitive, i.e. I had John build the house, French constructions with faire or laisser, and German constructions with lassen.

In Sanskrit, the Causative suffix -ay is attached to the Klingon has a morphological causative suffix, the class 4 suffix -moH. As in Sanskrit, the causative can be added to any sensible verb:

Potential of Sop to eat: SoplaH he eats

Causative of Sop to eat: SopmoH he causes it to eat

Causative of Potential: SopmoHlaH he causes it to be able to eat
