change in imperative ending

The imperative ending up to now has been "-x". After examining all the sentences again in the Latejami/Saweli lessons, I realized that this suffix hides the information that is normally contained in the verb ending (p/b/m), namely the number of arguments and dynamicity of the root verb. I don't want to lose all that information, especially the number of arguments. As a result, I have changed the imperative ending to three distinct endings: "-x" (for verbs that otherwise take '-p'), "-q" (for verbs that otherwise take '-b'), and "-h" (for verbs that otherwise take '-m', which currently all happen to have classifier "ta-").

The dynamicity of the root verb is still lost, but that isn't as important as the number of arguments.
