That makes sense. But looking up jussive at www.m-w.com, I get: "a word,
form, case, or mood expressing command". So even that does not seem to be
restricted to one person or another. Could be that these meanings overlap
completely!
This would be a good time for someone with actual schooling on the subject
to interject...

It was the six-form imperative in Irish which inspired the same in Rhean.
This covers what would be called "jussive" and "imperative" and the first-
person imperative would be called by some "hortative". Whatever term covers
all these is the one I want to use. And if I can get away with continuing
to call it "imperative", I will.
