Also, try articulating some criteria to judge whether an answer would work for you. Use the edit link to put all that information straight into the question. | |

| Mar 14, 2018 at 22:48 | comment | added | Edwin Ashworth | Dave Wilton, an administrator at Wordorigins.org...forums, focuses the analysis: << The question is what grammatical category does ['hail'] fall into [here]. Is it an imperative to be well? Is it a hortatory subjunctive calling upon all present to wish the person well? Is it an optative subjunctive expressing a desire that the person be well? >> Formulaic subjunctives (not including 'Let ...' constructions) are rare. God save the Queen! | |
