Abstract
This paper investigates the origin of the causative (CAUS) and simulative (SML) suffix-terin two varieties of Lai language, Hakha Lai and Falam Chin. It also shows that Proto Central Chin (PCC) full verbs*tiir‘to send someone to do an errand’ and*der‘to pretend to’ grammaticalized and merged into the Lai CAUS and SML suffix-terdue to frequency pressure, the first time this type of argument for semantic change is used in Kuki-Chin (KC).
