command, while the exhortative form in -tki expresses the second or advice- 

 form. It is tlie verbal intentional, either in its full or abbreviated shape. 

 The structure of both kinds of the imperative sentence differs in nothing' 

 from that of the declarative sentence, if we except the point that the pro- 

 noun of the person addressed is with greater freedom placed either before

 replaced by the future tense in -uapka.

 words composing it, but by a frequent use of interjections and a raising of 

 the voice to a higher pitch. The dropping of the verb is very common in 

 sentences of this sort, especially when they contain a wish or command. 

 A list of the interjections usually occurring is presented in ]\Iorphology ; a
