The direct second-person command is formed from the jussive second-person imperfect, removing the imperfect prefix and adding the proper connecting hamzah:
AddresseeActive command
أنتَاُدْعُ
أنتما (m.)اُدْعُوَا
أنتماُدْعُوا
أنتِاُدْعِي
أنتما (f.)اُدْعُوَا
أنتناُدْعُونَ
اُدْعُ — Call!
اُدْعِي — Call! (one woman)
اُدْعُوا — Call! (men, plural)
The final root wāw disappears in the masculine singular; attached endings account for the other command forms.
