110 CAUSAL VERBS.

225. Causal verbs, formed from verbs active, govern nouns in the accusative case like their actives, and require a second noun in the accusative governed by the particle കൊണ്ട, in the sense of an instrumental ablative, to be expressed or understood in the same sentence; as,
അവൻ ആശാരിമാരെ കൊണ്ട വീട പണിയിച്ചു.
He caused the carpenters to build the house.
അവർ അടിപ്പിച്ച പൈതൽ ഇവിടെ ഉണ്ട.
Here is the child whom they caused (him) to beat.
It has been before observed that many verbs36 have no causal forms; when therefore the actives of such verbs, or the active forms of any verb, are used in the sense of English compound verbs, the noun with the instrumental particle is omitted, and the verb governs nouns in the usual way, as,
ഞാൻ അവനെ ചിരിപ്പിച്ചു. I caused him to laugh.
അവൻ അവരെ വരുത്തി അവനൊട കൂടെ അവരെ ഇരുത്തുകയും ചെയ്തു.
He made them to come and sit with him.
