Okay, then... Well, according to what you've said, SuStel, we must have a
direct command prefix for "You-none" and the "need" verbal suffix added to
the "to die" verb, and if we are to emphasize it we'll need to add the
emphatic suffix...
So "You MUST die" would be interpreted as "You NEED to die" and thus we'd
have something like.. "yIHeghnISqu'" How is that?
