Just want to remind everyone that when you use a verb of quality as an 
imperative, you need to add {-'egh} and {-moH} to it.

{yItam'eghmoH} "cause yourself to be quiet!" is correct; *{yItam} is 
incorrect.

This rule was introduced in KGT p. 117. I've seen it violated a number 
of times in this thread, but no one has mentioned it yet.
