I think the imperative will simply be an infinitive verb form, plus a
[suggestive] emphatic marker; so, if /'mona/ would mean 'leave', and /ni/
be an emphatic [suggestive] marker, the sentence "leave" would be /'mona
ni/. I'd probably have a whole inventory of suggestives, with different
connotations and degrees of politeness.
