Obaudive

Hello!
In Varon, I have the imperative mood, but I also wanted the contrary, a mood
which is used when taking orders, or when the speaker wants to show his
lower status than the person he is speaking to (and som other opposing uses
of imperative). I didn't know if it existed such a grammatical term, and
when I looked it up, I found none. So now I named it myself, "obaudive",
which of course is taken from latin.
Do you know if I've missed the correct term? Is it often necessary to make
up your own grammatical terms?
