3 4 10, vandhahum 3 4 10, lehum 2 15 8. paribhamahum 6 13 7, pekkhahum 12 9 7, parisujjhahum 19 1 106 (in the last seven cases the sense has different shades of indefiniteness).
c) -hi is the only termination for the Second Person Singular and -hu or -ho (acchahu 3 4 10, gavesaho 12 8 96, jánahu 4 5 2) for the Plural.
d) Besides the normal -ai, -ei appears in the Third Person Singular mostly in metrically conditioned cases (khañcei 3 12 5, karei 4 12 6).
e) -ahim is not found in the Third Person Plural.
$103. The desinences of the Future are the same as those of the Present Indicative; only the special base is formed by adding -(e)sa. Instances: 1. plur. karesahum 3 6 11a; 2. plur. kareşaho 12 8 9b; 3. sing. hosai 4 5 4, vahesai 6 11 3; 3. plur. hosanti 5 9 10.
The -ha type of future is not found in our text. $104. Imperative.
a) Imper. 1. pl. (These cases can be also regarded as present Ind. 1. plur. forms used in an indefinite sense) jahum 2 12 8, 3 4 106; vandahum 3 4 10b, karahum 5 10 7, bhamādahum 5 10 8, paisahum 6 13 9, paisarahum 7 9 1.
b) Imper. 2. Sing.

ii) -u: jiu 4 3 8, nisaru 4 7 2, maru 5 7 2, hasu, bhuñju 7 12 3, taju, jujjhu 7 12 3, cau; samcaru 7 12 4, suņu 7 12 5, cadu, āu, padu 19 15 3, bhamu, ramu 19 15 5, utthutthu (intensive) 10 4 4;

$105. The forms in short -el--i as also in -u are commonly used. There are several forms in short -e. The Ms. which leads in preserying original orthographic features, is also leading in attesting the imper. forms in short -e. It is quite naturally explained by Jacobi and Alsdorf as a development of the Sk. opt. 2. sing. in -en. The -i forms represent a phonetically later stage. Tagare's suggestion to explain it as due to passive + zero or to the loss of -h in -(a)hi is quite unattractive.
The term -u is also to be explained in accordance with the Ap. tendency to turn final -a into -u. It has nothing to do with the -u of the 3. sing.
