At Bob's request, here are cases of different dative, etc., variants of
causatives. I was able to use variations on t?e=dhe 'to kill' ('to make
die') for all the main set of examples.
Basic causative =dhE (like Dakotan =yA)
t?e'=dha=bi= ama
he killed him (they say)
jod 90:283.12
Dative causative =khidhE (like Dakotan =khiyA)
ni'kkagahi u'z^u t?e'=dhikhidha=i= hnaNkha=s^e
chief principal they killed him for you you the sitting
ye whose principal chief was killed
jod 90:17.1
Reflexive Causative =kkidhe
t?e'=akkidhe= xti=maN
I have killed myself I altogether
I have totally done myself in
jod 90:262.11
Reflexive Possessive Causative =gidhe
iz^iN'ge t?e'=gidha=i
his son he killed his own
jod 90:611.13
I couldn't pass up these examples.
A double causative:
t?e'=kkidhe= wadhe
die they make themselves he made them
he made them kill themselves
jod 90:141.11
A reflexive embedded under a causative:
kki?aN'=khidhe= s^te=aN=bi
he made her paint herself even
(I think this might refer to painting her hair parting.)
jod 90:80.5
