The Themsaran jussive continues three different irrealis moods in Proto-Talsmic: volitive, optative, and hortative. The volitive form was composed of the present tense plus a suffix ''-ʔe'', which caused the downstep to shift to the desinence in the 1ex singular and plural forms and the -t- from fortition in 1st person dual. The optative was marked with the suffix ''-ti'' (hence the ''-t, -ti-'' in the 1+2 and 2 forms), and the hortative was marked with ''-aʔ'' (hence the final ''-á, -ā́-'' in the 3rd person jussive).
