====Imperative and Hortative==== | |||
The imperative is formed simply using the stem form of a verb, optionally followed by ''zu/ter/[name] ya!''. The hortative - indicating meanings such as "let us X," "may X happen," etc., is formed by moving the stress to the initial syllable, and elongating the vowel it falls on. Diphthongs elongate the first vowel only. This leads to some verbs seeing no real change. | |||
