The imperative generally has distinct forms for singular (addressed to one person) and plural; see 4.5.2. It can also be expressed by do with another imperative, as in do gyf glory to þy godde, 8/204. Another common way of giving an order is with imperative look followed by the subjunctive: loke þou drynke, 7b/277; loke þee loþe, ‘make sure that you find it hateful’, 6/4 (see note there).
