ECVF (Erzya Causative Verbs and Figures) is a simple database containing a three-column set of information on finite causative verbs in Erzya. The three columns contain a lemma or head word, an MSD (Morpho-Syntactic Description) and frequency. The causative verbs in this dataset is delimited by a list of twenty-one causative verbs and their near synonyms.

The frequencies have been derived from two corpora:

- the erme-s-v2 (http://urn.fi/urn:nbn:fi:lb-2023021601)

- so far unpublished ERME-Paragraphs (Erzya and Moksha-language corpora consisting of literary publications from both language with only paragraph-level annotation).

The ECVF dataset was built for background data to be used in the project 'Grammatical characters in computational phylogeny: The causative alternation in Uralic' (https://researchportal.helsinki.fi/en/projects/grammatical-characters-in-computational-phylogeny-the-causative-a/) and a part of the twenty-one verb list has been addressed in 'Basic causative verb patterns in Uralic: Retention and renewal in grammar and lexicon' (https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110755657-007)
