As example 67 shows, ditransitives may be causativized in the same way as monotransitives, producing a four-argument verb. To summarize, verbs in all classes enter into causative constructions with maa-. Additional derivational processes when causativized: most verbs must be suffixed with the transitivizer –ii, and transitives require dative –nii to mark the additional object. With all verbs, the causer is marked as the A argument, and the causee as the O argument. Most of these facts are also true for the other causative construction in maq(a)-; the differences will be discussed in §5.4.1.2. 5.4.1.2 Causative maq(a)-. Only a limited number of intransitive verbs, most having experiencer subjects and belonging to the semantic field of bodily sensations and emotions, may form a causative construction with maq(a)-. Examples are ‘make laugh/cry/urinate/fart/itchy/ fearful/angry/stinky/happy’. Others that are closely related are maqastak ‘CAUS+grow=raise’; and maqasaanan ‘CAUS+sound=purr’. A few other lexicalized forms exist, including maqnii ‘CAUS+die=kill’; maqlipni ‘CAUS+lightning= there is lightning’; maq#teq ‘CAUS+stay=leave something’; maqatlaxa ‘CAUS+lose= beat’; and maqatsanqa ‘CAUS+lacking=lose something’. The object marking of the causee is exactly the same as with the maa- causative construction. 68) "aalakimaqatasá /#aa=la-kin-maqa-tasa-aa/ NEG-POT-1OBJ-CAUS-cry-IMPF ‘he cannot make me cry’ 69) liimaqasiitsí /lii-maqa-siitsi-aa/ INST-CAUS-angry-IMPF ‘she makes her angry’ 70) maqapéekwa sqata& /maqa-peekwa-li& sqata&/ CAUS-afraid-PFTV ‘he scared the child’ 71) laamaqapas%awapará /laa-maqa-pas"awa-para-aa/ REC-CAUS-happy-ITER-IMPRF ‘they make each other happy again’ !

It is possible to recursively causativize intransitive verbs in FM Totonac, as shown in the examples below: 77) kintamaamaqniimán /kin-ta-maa-maq-nii-maa-ni/ 1OBJ-3SUB.pl-CAUS-CAUS-die-PROG-2OBJ ‘they are making me kill you’ !
