Modified Present Imperative.

When a pronominal suffix is added to the second plural imperative 
of any verb, iv, becomes *^yu (17). Thus, haryu-m , make ye 
for me ; karyu-s , make ye for him; karyu-kh , make ye for 
them. So from f^r khi, eat, j^ khyayu-m , &c ., and from f«r ni } di, 
and f?f yi , diyu-m , &c. 
1 (6). The Modified Present Imperative. 
This, though not a respectful imperative, is more polite than the 
simple tense. It is formed by inserting the particle <T ta. It expresses 
encouragement, like the Hindi rff karo to! It also expresses permis¬ 
sion ; thus, 1 very well, if you wish to do it, do it.’ The terminations 
are as follows (viii. ii. 14). 
Singular. Plural. 
2 rT t*. Hav . 
x X 
3 'tan. Han. 
x \ ^ 
The terminations are all added to the root direct (15). The * being 
i-matra , a preceding vowel is modified in the 2nd plural, and 3rd sing, 
and plur. Thus, 
Singular. Plural. 
2 kart*. karHav. 
3 JearHan. kar'Han. 
So also from kkar , mount, *arrf^?f«T kharHan; from wdl , 
bring down, ^rf%ri3T ivalHan ; from roz , remain, 2nd sing. rdzt a , 
3rd sing. ^f5j<T«T ruzHan; from ner , go forth, nert a , 
nirHan; and from tsar , be inwardly wrathful, &c., tsqrHanay , 
&c., (see p. 82). 
Regarding roots ending in vowels we have from f*sf khi, eat.
