* ''Tuleikä meleestina'' "May thy kingdom come." | * ''Tuleikä meleestina'' "May thy kingdom come." | ||

====Imperative==== | |||
The imperative mood takes no derivation but is formed directly from the radix of the verb. It exists for two persons - the first and the second. The first person only exists in the plural as ''-taa''. | |||
* ''kevataa!'' "let's forget it" | |||
As for the second person, the singular takes no ending and is just the radix of the verb. | |||
* ''ruusi!'' "burn!" | |||
* ''palga!'' "take!" | |||
* ''lahe!'' "give!" | |||
The second person plural takes the suffix ''-kaa''. | |||
* ''melekaa!'' (Come you guys!). | |||
The Sanahta dialect inserts /a/ between the suffixes and the radix if not doing so would result in an unpronounceable cluster, e.g. *läbtaa becomes ''läbataa'' for Standard Valian ''lävaa''. | |||
