Applying Leipzig glossing rules

[Kazuto Matsumura]

Dear Riho,

In order to fully appreciate your proposal (B), I need some enlightenment
because I am not particularly familiar with the Leipzig Glossing Rules.

Should the Sami and Mari examples imply that you want to gloss Finnish verb 
forms, if need be, something like this?

e-t     tule-x
NEG-2SG come-CONNEG
e-tte   tule-x
NEG-2PL come-CONNEG

tule-x
come-IMP.2SG
tul-kaa
come-IMP.2PL
tul-kaa-mme
come-IMP-1PL

a"la        tule-x
NEG.IMP.2SG come-IMP
a"l-kaa     tul-ko
NEG-IMP.2PL come-IMP
a"l-kaa-mme tul-ko
NEG-IMP-1PL come-IMP


Best,
