Hmm... translating this one was fun because Bha has no verb that simply means "to do", so the sentences would vary depending on what action is being ordered or prohibited, and it also lacks a simple word for 'yes' (that idea being conveyed by repeating the verb of a previous question). I think here 'yes' and 'no' fulfill an emphatic role more than anything else, so I used an adverb:

Ħuhepha (ru) ga!
Ħu-hepha ru ga
IMP-strike just DIST
'Hit (just) that!'

Haħán hepha (ru) ga!
Haħán hepha ru ga
PROH strike DIST
'Don't hit (just) that!'

Actually, another (perhaps more natural) translation would be to simply use that adverb:

Ru
'thus, like that'

Ha ru
'not thus, not like that'

Yes, lo is never used as a clitic in the negative command form.
