§ 14. IMPERATIVE MODE. 



Afflrmatme: 

 ik takchih, let him, her, it, or them tie. 



takchih, tie thou, 



ak takchih, let me tie. 



hvsh takchih, ye tie, tie ye (def ), 



ho takchi, ye tie, tie ye (dis). 



ohiah, go ye (dis). 



ke takchi, let us tie (def). 



keho takchi, let us tie (dis). 



kiliah, let us go (def). 



kilohiah, let us go (dis). 



takchashkeh, let him, her, or them tie. 



The particle ashkeh is suffixed to the infinitive in the last word to ex- 

 j)ress an imperative in the shape of a wish. 



The imiserative negative is formed by changing the teiminal vowel of 

 the verb into o, and suffixing the particle kia; or particles of negation may 

 be used, such as na, wa, heto, he, keyu. 

 Examples: 



ik takclio kiah, do not let him tie. 



ish takchi nah, don't you tie him. 



ish takcha wah, you will not tie him. 



ish takcha heto, you shall not tie him. 



ish takcho he keyu, you shall not tie him. 



Double negatives may be used, not, not no; as: 

 ak takcho ki nah; 

 ak takcho ka wah; 

 ak tokclia ka he keyuh. 

 Compare Luke VII. 39, ik akostinincho ka heto, he would not have 

 not known, i. e., he would have known.
