The jussive (abbreviated jus) is a grammatical mood of verbs for issuing orders, commanding, or exhorting (within a subjunctive framework). English verbs are not marked for this mood. Whereas the cohortative applies to the first person (by appeal to the object's duties and obligations) and the imperative to the second (by command), the jussive typically covers the first and third persons,[1] as well as orders (by their author's wish) in the mandative subjunctive.
