The causative is the form used to express "to make X do Y", as in "I made the dog sit down". It's also used to make verbs from nouns and adjectives, for example in Gothic hweitjan "to whiten, make something white" from hweits "white".

The inceptive indicates the start of an action, as in Latin rubescere "to blush, become red" from ruber "red".
