 36 § 49. causa- tives. Double be an intransitive verb, its causative is construed with object with the accusative of its (the primitive's) subject. Prim. a G9G71: Caus. usigni Gara Maufa. The same ap- plies to verbs of going; then we will have occasionally two accusatives, one of the aim and the other, point- ing out the primitive's subject. Prim. t meia- gild Caus. Isil Gaga qielogei nula. 52. But if the primitive be a transitive, there is diver- P.1, 4, sity of idiom. Often the primitive's subject is in the manner put in the accusative, when con- strued with the causative, but often also in the in- strumental. In the former case we have of course two accusatives, as Kathås. 9, 10 aydan pa ngz-gávas: (the best of ascetics made the queen eat a consecrated porridge), wherewith cp, this instance of the instrumental: Mhbh. 2, 1, 7E fanferont fog rout (I shall not be able to get anything done by you). The difference of both constructions is determined by the diverse nature of the notions, carried by them. If one wants to say he causes me to do something, it is by his impulse I act, there is room for the type fenfarchnuid, but if it be meant he gets something done by me, I am only the agent or instrument through which he acts, the instrumental is on its place fuld fen.

I, p. 43 #fà e lfarareg. gatet aftenanfanunagar etrafta : (do not the vices of Candrag. still remind the people of the former kings?), Daç. 144 fannt men ahotan at anfangenedans (my parents allowed me to wed that girl), Mhbh. 1, 75, 28a (he made the holy men pay taxes), R. 2, 55, 17 akan daargary (he ordered her to embark), ibid, 2, 94, 2 au fafa farstu i rufa, Daç. 215
