<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">In this case, only the second sentence is a command, so only it takes the yI- prefix.<br>
Also, remember that the object comes before the verb. So, if you're addressing one person (as I believe is the case because the Latin word is &quot;vis&quot;), this becomes<br>
<br>
roj DaneHchugh, yIghobrup!<br>
<br>
If addressing multiple people:<br>
<br>
roj boneHchugh, peghobrup!<br>
<br>
Another form I rather like is<br>
<br>
roj DaneHchugh, noH yIghuHchoH.<br>
&quot;If you want peace, become prepared for war.&quot;<br>
<br>
This gives both halves of the sentence a very similar form.<br>
