Paradigm for causatives #4

Open shardulc opened 6 years ago

shardulc commented 6 years ago

Some time ago, @vin-ivar mentioned that causatives (e.g. बसणे and बसवणे) are treated as separate lemmas because sometimes they are not formed with व, e.g. मरणे and मारणे. But since the vast majority of verbs do use the standard inflection, does it make sense to treat them as the same lemma?

(I noticed this when I realized that बसवणे is analyzed, but the more formal बसविणे isn't, and it is not possible to add a LR rule in the paradigm to fix this because causatives aren't part of the paradigm.)
