  • Clticized forms and the imperative

    The 2sg imperative is given in Aub-Büscher (1962:89) as 'vè t è'. Apparently, the imperative form of this verb is only used in combination with the (respectively reflexive and locative) clitic pronouns 't' and 'è'.

    The forms of the paradigm commencing in n- incorporate a reflex of the Latin locative clitic INDE (cf. French 'en'). Aub-Büscher gives all forms for this verb (except the 1pl imperative) as accompanied by a locative, and usually also a reflexive, clitic. It is not always clear, however, to what extent the combination with the clitic has become lexicalized.
