The imperative uses the same stem as the present, but with the subjunctive/imperative endings, except for the second person singular which has no ending. The first person singular imperative is never used. | The imperative uses the same stem as the present, but with the subjunctive/imperative endings, except for the second person singular which has no ending.

Some verbs may indeed have irregularities that are not tied to the class system. For example, the common verb ''eynemámi'' "I take, get, seize, grasp" - which is a PIE prefixed verb whose unprefixed form is not attested in Lifashian - has stem allomorphy due to its stress placement: the two personal endings that are stressed (first person singular and third person plural) are added to the stem ''eynem-'', while the others to the stem ''etinem-'': ''eynemámi'', ''etinemesi'', ''etinemeti'', ''etinemmas'' (contraction of older and more formal ''etinememas''), ''etinemeti'', ''eynemáti''. | |||
