§ 67. Verbs in μι (lexicon form instead of ω) are but another mode
of conjugating pure verbs (being the only primitives of that class
whose root ends in α, ε, or o) in the Pres., Imperf., and 2d Aor.;
in all which tenses the union-vowel coalesces with the root vowel.
They have a peculiar inflection, chiefly by reason of the Imperf. and
2d Aor. act. taking throughout the terminations of the Aorists
pass. The Pres. and Imperf. reduplicate with ι the initial consonant,
(prefixing simply ί if that cannot be done, and sometimes adopting
other modes of strengthening,) and in the act. they lengthen the root
in the Indic., α or ε into η, ο into ω. The 2d Aor. (those in
υμι being factitious have not this tense) has in the act. a long
vowel or diphthong throughout, except the Imperative ε or o, and the
Participle.


_Notes on Certain Verbs in μι._

§ 68. τίϑημι [_to put_] has, in the Act., 1st Aor. ἒϑηκα, Perf.
τέϑεικα; ὀίὀωμι [_to give_] has, 1st Aor., ἒδωκα.

§ 69. εἰμί [_to be_] is inflected thus: εὶ [_thou art_], ἐστί(ν)
[_is_], ἐσμέν, ἐστί, εἰσί(ν) [_we, ye, they are_], ἱσϑι [_be thou_],
ὤν [_being_], etc.; the rest mostly regular. See the lexicon
for these, and for ἵημι [_to send_], and εἰμι [_to go_].

§ 70. Several verbs annex σκω, ίνω, (ν)νυμι, etc., instead
of μι, etc., in the Pres. and Imperf.
