Apologising once more in advance for quoting boQwI', I need to bring this
up, because there I read that..

"Even though tkd says that {-be'} cannot be used with imperatives, it seems
that this means only that it cannot be used to form negative imperatives.
For example, a sentence such as {HIleghbe'moH} seems to be possible"

I can't understand this. Isn't the {HIleghbe'moH} a negative imperative ?
Doesn't it mean "make me not see !" ?
