The following table may best serve to distinguish at a glance be- 

 tween the different suffixes in -Is that occur in Siuslaw: 



The imperative for the second persons dual und plural is not often 

 expressed by suffixing to -is the subjective pronouns -ts and -tci re- 

 spectively (see § 24), because the subjective pronouns are usually suf- 

 fixed to attributes and particles that precede the verbal term (see § 26). 

 The interchange between -I and -a* has been discussed in § 2.

L.'wan- to tell 7.3 L/wd'?ils tell him! 30.13

In negative sentences the imperative suffix is replaced by the tran- 

 sitive form of the durative -Isun (see § 69). The verb is preceded by 

 the negative particle li:u\ humi'ntc^ used in connection with the subjec- 

 tive pronouns for the second persons (see §§ 131, 40).

 subjective pronouns for these persons (see § 24).

 preceded by the exhortative particle qaH (see § 129), and the subjective
