Vôrynthel forms its imperatives simply by using the relevant second-person conjugation of the verb and dropping the subject, which is mandatory in almost all other constructions; seo nemalas meo/sve nemalast meo/zie nemalazoon meo would be the declarative "you don't kill me".

Himmaswa:
Duool trah huoo hwai choo yang!
2 kill NEG 1 HORT HORT
choo indicates strong or enthusiastic encouragement or discouragement regarding the proposition
yang indicates a subtle appeal for solidarity, usually seeking accommodation or understanding on the part of the addressee
adding yang to choo makes it less forceful by encouraging concord between the speaker and addressee regarding the proposition

Re: Don't kill me!
The current rules for translations are that you have to provide a gloss of some sort along with the translation itself.

Yoruba

[ɛ˧ mã˥ k͡pa˧ mĩ˥]
If you want to plead even more you can say Ẹ jọ̀wọ́ [ɛ˧ dʒɔ˨˧wɔ˧˥] at the beginning, which of course means 'please'.
Pronunciation notes: <ma> can just as well be pronounced [mɔ̃] and <j> can also be [ɟ]

Lonmai Luna/Liunan
In Lonmai Luna/Liunan, there's a specific prohibitive particle:
Romanization: masik kuta se!
Interlinear: PROHIBITIVE kill 1.SG!
English: Don't kill me!
Urban Basanawa
In Urban Basanawa, one simply pus the negation before the imperative sentence to form prohibitive:
text: ね殺る゚我!
text(spaced): ね 殺る゚ 我!
pronunciation: /ne 'kel mi/
romanization: ne kell mi!
interlinear: NEG kill 1.SG.ACC!
English: Don't kill me!

I prefer to not be referred to with masculine pronouns and nouns such as “he/him/his”.
