§ 47. Imperative Suffidc Expressing Possessive Interrelations between 

 Object and Subject -tsx 



In the imperative the suffix -tsx is used for expressing possessive 

 interrelations between object and subject in both cases, when the object 

 forms an integral part of the subject and when it is onl}^ separably con- 

 nected with it. Considering that actions involved in such a command 

 presuppose the presence of a pronominal subject and object, it is not 

 improbable that the suffix -tsx may be related to the suffixes -uts 

 and -Ux (see § § 23, 29, 33). For subjects other than the second person 

 singular, the different subjective pronouns are added to -tsx (see 

 §§ 24, 4).
