I see what you are driving at: "cause someone to be patient and have
that someone be yourself", but is this necessary? I think you are
implying that an imperative prefix can't command someone to take on a
quality, but I don't see the problem. We do have the canon {petaD},
which does exactly that: commands the listeners to take on a state.
Are there any other canon examples of imperatives with descriptive
verbs?
