Detail #316: An Indirect Imperative

Have a way of inflecting imperative-like forms for the person who gave the command and for the time and aspect of the command-giving. One possibility would be for this to be morphologically related to causatives.

miniatureconlangs

Miniatureconlangs seeks to present appealing descriptions of grammatical details in imaginary languages - imaginary languages that have no more grammar than the short description presented here. Real linguistics, but also thoughts on conlanging, conworlding and other non-narrative fiction appear intermittently.

Conlangers can freely use ideas they find here as long as they credit this blog for inspiration in the main work describing the conlang. If you get inspired, I would also be happy to hear from you.
