Nov 13, 2016 at 17:06 comment added Jiri Lebl Perhaps this requires another question about -u forms.
Nov 13, 2016 at 3:13 comment added Andrew Woods The -u form without subject is usually a command directed to vi but not always; e.g. you can say Pluvu! without believing in a rain god. Estu! on its own means "Let it be so!"
Nov 12, 2016 at 22:26 comment added Jiri Lebl I guess in "estu lumo", the lumo becomes the subject. But i was thinking about how to use estu without a subject at all. As far as i understand, without a subject a verb in the -u form assumes you as the subject and is a command.
