"She makes me jealous for her" (1) and "she makes me
jealous" (2) mean two different things, to me.<br><br>
There may be either 2 or 3 parties to the situation being
described: "she(i) makes me jealous for her(i)" or
"she(i) makes me jealous for her(j)".
<br><br>
(1) This has a benefactive meaning, to me. I am made to feel
jealous on somebody else's behalf, whether that person is the same as the
subject of the sentence, or another person. I don't feel myself to
be at a disadvantage.<br><br>
(2) I am made to feel jealous of her or of somebody else. I
am the one who is made to feel disadvantaged.<br><br>
The sex of the speaker, in English, would seem to be irrelevant.

Does the following gloss "....she makes me jealous for her"
(female speaker) seem to fit the English notion of "She makes
me jealous."??? I believe that there was some past discussion
on these kind of sentence contructions with intransitives & causitive
suffixes.<br>

<b>Wáße</b> <b>iróku<sup>n</sup>pi náha aré áma wáñi mínachi
<u>ñíthi<sup>n</sup>hi<sup>n</sup>gihi</u> ki, Because she has all
the good looking men all the time, she makes me jealous for/ of
her.<br>
</b> <br>
ñíthin = jealous<br>
ñíthinhi = cause one to be
jealous<br>
ñíthin + hin (I/ me) + (for/ to) + hi (causative
suffix). <br>

Thanking you in advance for your review(s)<br>
