Hi!

> But Russian's 3rd person imperative is quite distinct from those verbs.

What do you mean is "3rd person imperative" in Russian? I'm native Russian
speaker, but I'm not schoolar in Russian grammar - so maybe I use it dozen
times a day and do not know it is named  "3rd person imperative". :-)

OK, let me switch back to Lojban. What about "Let the Force be with you!"?
Can anybody translate this into Lojban? Is it "imperative" or what?

kir.
