======Jussive======

The Themsaran jussive continues three different irrealis moods in Proto-Talsmic: ~~volitive~~, hortative and optative. 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 the 1ex dual. The hortative was marked with the suffix ''-ti'' (hence the ''-t, -ti-'' in the 1+2 and 2 forms), and the optative was marked with ''-aʔ'' (hence the final ''-á, -ā́-'' in the 3rd person jussive).

The jussive is a finite verb form that bears a wide range of uses:
