With time (and space) specified, hi ceases to be a here-and-now imperativizer, but it nonetheless carries a sense of earnestness, urgency, intensity of the desired action :
180 1.  cahra-no1 oca2 so-hi3 do1 (some) tea2 in the afternoon 1 2. baji1 coku2 phacü-no3 ni4 cü5 he6 pra7 to-hi8 eat8 (the) medicine7 at6 (your)4 home5 at3 72 o’clock3 3.  cükropüi1 ni2 ayi3larübvü4 pi-hi5 you2 give5 me3 (the) book 4 in the evening1
Finally, a possible candidate for being an imperative marker is -da of ida ‘o.k.?’, used typically for people of lower rank, subordinates, children and the like. Only exceptionally could it be used for people higher in some sense than the speaker, to parents, for instance, when children take on the role of knowledgeable superiors.
181. 1.  (adi) khüi vu-da come back; ok.?         2.  cohõ bo hiho-da cook something and keep, o.k.?
That it can co-occur with or bear a relation of sequence or context rather than of choice or contrast with, for instance, the prohibitive renders it an unsuccessful candidate.
182. 1.  ni1 hihi2 so3 -sho4 -da5 you1 do not4 do3 this2, o.k.?5           2.  lohe1ta2 -sho3 -da4 do not3 go2 there1 , o.k.?4           3.  ayi 1 ahre pi2 -sho3 -da4 do2 not3 put me1 to shame2 , o.k.?4           4.  mada1 -sho2 -da3 do not2 lie1 , o.k. ?3           5.  opro-i1 to2 -sho3 -da4 do not3 eat2 the medicine1 , o.k.?4
In which case, the affirmative imperatives illustrating da above must be analyzed as v+imp (=O)+da. I am not entirely sure of this although I am inclined to think the analysis is on the right track, because as we saw, adi khüi vu-da ‘come back’, o.k.? is not adi khüi vu+O (imp) + da as there’s no imperative adi khüi vu (cf. 154.6).
3.4.6.30.	The Incompletive
This mood is named inadequately for want of better expression, as the incompletive. It is not the exact opposite of the mood of completion. It indicates that although the action is physically complete, the speaker expects something to be done with it further, or more generally, the speaker thinks the action is still currently relevant. It is marked by hiho.
