There is also the imperative clitic -tko/ used by Archpriest Avvakum in the seventeenth century which had two allomorphs: post-vocalically he used [-tko], but post-consonantally [-ko].
Consequently, data from Avvakum and the Onega informants show that the imperative clitic in this okanie dialect was -tko or -ko (itself derived from -tko), not -ka.
The Onega byliny demonstrate yet another outstanding phenomenon with regards to the intensifying clitic -ka: although the imperative clitic is clearly -tko and, to a lesser extent, -ko, -ka is frequently encountered, though strictly as an intensifier of pronouns and adverbs.
