In negative sentences the impei'ative suffix -Ein is replaced by the 

 durative -is (see § 69). The whole phrase is preceded by the particle 

 of negation Tc'Q}', ImimJntc not (see § 131), to which are added the sub- 

 jective pronouns for the second persons (see §§ 24, 26).

By suffixing to the imperative toe subjective pronouns for the first 

 persons dual and plural (see § 24), an exhortative mode for these per- 

 sons is obtained.

§ 62. Imperative Suffix for Transitive Verbs -is (-ais) 



This suffix expresses an imperative transitive idea. It must not be 

 confused with the durative suffix -is (see § 69), the phonetic resem- 

 blance between these two suffixes being purely accidental. It must 

 be borne in mind that the durative -Is indicates an intransitive action, 

 and is made transitive by the addition of the transitive -U7i (see § 28). 



The student is easily apt to confuse these two suffixes, because in 

 the prohibitive mode the transitivized durative -isun (see p. 518) is 

 used; but this use is perfectly logical, since a transitive prohibitive is 

 intimately connected with the idea of a (negated) action of long dura- 

 tion performed by a second person as subject.
