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 Themsaran forms. The optative was marked with the suffix ''-ti'' (hence the ''-t'' in the 1+2 and 2 forms), and the hortative was marked with ''-aʔ'' (hence the final ''-á/ā́'' in the 3rd person jussive). | |||
