Prevli: a question

I'm considering having various verbal derivations ~moods-- some or all of:
desiderative 'want to vb.'
inchoative 'become vb/adj'
inceptive 'begin to vb'
causative 'cause to vb.' (perhaps to include caus.+incho. 'cause-become
..' -- or not?)
coercive 'make/force s.o. to vb'
and two whose names I'm not sure of--
obligative 'must/ have to...'
debitive 'ought/ should...'
(a little googling tells me that "debitive" in Latvian at least is must/have
to...)
Whether to use prefix/suffix, or compound with relatable lexical items-- not
yet decided (more morphophonemics, yay!!). Some may eventually be better
done periphrastically.....
Any others I might consider??? I thought there was a rather extensive post
about these terms in the Listserv archive, but don't seem to have found it.
