a. The optative is represented by only an example or two in the older language: thus, active, (AV.),  (KB.),  (AB.),  (VS. MS.; but  TS.); RV. has only (pft.?); middle,  (K.).

1010. The regular forms of the imperative, including the usual subjunctive first persons, would be as follows:

1011. a. Older imperative forms are less rare than optative. The first persons have been given above (, the only accented example, does not correspond with the model, but is in conformity with the subjunctive of the reduplicating present); the proper imperatives are: 2d sing., ; the ending is found in  and ; and the latter (as was pointed out above, 571 b) is used in AV. as first person sing.; shows an elsewhere unparalleled loss of  before the ending ; 3d sing., ; 2d du., ; 3d du., ; 2d pl., ;  (RV., once) has an anomalous union-vowel. In the middle voice is found only (ÇB.).

b. Of imperative forms with auxiliary, RV. has none; AV. has and, and such are sometimes found in the Brāhmaṇas; AV. has also, against rule, and ; VS. has.

1012. The intensive participles, both active and middle, are comparatively common in the older language. They are formed and inflected like those of the reduplicating present, and have the accent on the reduplicating syllable.
