jussive (adj./n.)

A term sometimes used in the GRAMMATICAL analysis of VERBS, to refer to a type of MOOD often equated with an IMPERATIVE (leave!), but in some languages needing to be distinguished from it. For example, in Amharic, a jussive paradigm is used for wishes (‘May God give you strength’), greetings, and certain other contexts, and this is formally distinct from the imperative.
