ffix in 'perative and
A special form of subject affix is used for feminine
plural subjects; it is identical in both the imperative
and in the third person tense forms. The underlying form
is -nt ; but in many dialects, as in Zaidts, the t has
become assimilated to the n, resulting in a tense -n: as
feminine plural suffix. Bu~z:a uses the tense -n: form
in this exercise, but he often also uses the fuilT-nt form
Now Bugz:a uses the imperative form to address a
command or request to a group of women. He says it twice.
Zaid then uses the 3d pe pf tense to comment that they
have done the action--whatever it was. You may simply re-
peat Bugz:a's command, or you can try to produce the
comment, before Zaid does. In either case, repeat Zaid's
comment both times he gives it.
