Notes on the conjugation of ἵστημι
706. 1. ἵστημι is for σι-στη-μι, the rough breathing representing the σ of the reduplicating syllable.
2. In the singular of the present and imperfect indicative active, στα is lengthened to στη, and the third person plural of the present ends in ᾱσι, ἱστᾶσι arising from ἱστα-ᾱσι by contraction.
3. In the imperfect indicative, ῑ is due to the augment (67, 2).
4. For the formation of the subjunctive and optative, see 694, 3 and 4, but here in the subjunctive α + η = η, not ᾱ, and α + ῃ = ῃ, not ᾳ (340).
5. In the present imperative active, ἵστη (for ἱστα-θι) rejects θι and lengthens the final vowel of the stem.
6. The lengthening of στα to στη occurs also in the second aorist indicative, imperative (except in στάντων), and infinitive active.
7. The active participles ἱστάς and στάς are declined like λύσᾱς (754).
8. The second aorist middle of ἵστημι does not occur.
