While {yItaD} is the correct idiomatic choice in this case, be aware 
that in general when you are commanding someone with a verb of quality, 
you need to add {-'egh} and {-moH} to it: {yItam'eghmoH} "silence 
yourself!" This rule comes from KGT. {yItaD} "be frozen!, don't move!" 
is an idiomatic exception to the rule.
