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.
