because   (AMR annotation guidance)

because and because of are annotated using cause-01.

Example:  Cars can't move because of overflowing sewers.
     (p / possible-01 :polarity -
           :ARG1 (m / move-01
                 :ARG1 (c / car))
           :ARG1-of (c2 / cause-01
                 :ARG0 (o / overflow-01
                       :ARG1 (s / sewer))))

Shortcut :cause available, e.g. "m :cause overflow".

This also applies for implied causes such as:

Example:  "10% of smokers die of lung cancer."
     (i / include-91
           :ARG1 (p / person
                 :ARG1-of (d / die-01
                       :ARG1-of (c2 / cause-01
                             :ARG0 (d2 / disease :wiki "Lung_cancer" :name (n / name :op1 "lung" :op2 "cancer")))))
           :ARG2 (p2 / person
                 :ARG0-of (s2 / smoke-02))
           :ARG3 (p3 / percentage-entity :value 10))
