[Lingtyp] 'Take' as diachronic source for causative? 'Stand' for ingressive?

[Claudia Wegener]

Dear all,

It was suggested to me that grammaticalization of the verb 'take' to a 
causative marker is typologically unusual, and indeed, apart from the 
mention of Twi and Nupe (in Kuteva et al. 2019 and sources cited 
therein) and Fon (Lefebvre 1991) I have found little to no information 
on languages where this has happened... Would any of you know any other 
languages and could point me towards publications I could cite?

And related to this, I have been even less successful at finding 
languages where the verb for 'to stand' (as posture verb) has been 
grammaticalized to function as a marker for ingressive - if you know of 
any, would you be so kind to point me to any publications?

Many thanks in advance,

Claudia
