-In addition, participial forms derived from finite verb stems were used for the present/future and passives. There were two classes. Active participles were marked with the suffix -k (Conjugation II) and passives with -n (Conjugation III). These participles follow nominal declension:
+In addition, participial forms derived from finite verb stems were used for the present/future and passives. There were two classes. Active participles were marked with the suffix -k (Conjugation II) and passives with -n (Conjugation III). These participles follow nominal declension. The following paradigm tables illustrate with the verb stems hutta- "to do", katu- "??", and szinni- "??":

+===== The Imperative =====
+In Middle Elamite the imperative is simply the second person of Conjugation I. Thus  kullak.u.me hap.t(i) "hear my prayer". In Achaemenid Elamite the third person is used, e.g. kullak.u.me hap.sz.
+Negative imperatives and prohibatives are formed from Conjugation III participles preceded by the particle anu/ani. E.g. Achaemenid Elamite hupe anu hutta.n.t(i) 'Do not do that' and anu u ir turna.n.p(i) 'lest they know me'. See Stolper pg. 68 for further information.
