In imperatives, sometimes we see in Ca'NoN {-'eghmoH}, and sometimes we see {-choH}. For example: {yItam'eghmoH} or {yItamchoH}.
I don't know, if there is a Ca'NoN example of using just the verb, e.g. {yItam}, but regardless whether there is indeed such a case or not, I wonder..
Should anyone choose whatever he likes ? Is there something of the three (-'eghmoH, - choH, or none at all), one should necessarily use in an imperative ?
We see all forms. I don't think Okrand made up his mind about *-'egh + -moH* until KGT, so some earlier words violate it. I also think *'egh + -moH* may not apply to every imperative on every /be-/verb; it's used for things you have to actively do yourself, even if that's only a grammatical pretext. I don't think *-choH* necessarily negates the need for *-'egh* and *-moH.* -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
