In Udmurt, verbs belong to one of two inflectional paradigms. There are different singular and plural second person imperative verb forms in both of the paradigms, which also differ from the singular and plural second person verb forms in indicative mood (cf. Tarakanov 2011: 164–169, Winkler 2001: 51).
