 *dual forms: pr-ind: ἔστον, pa-ind: ἤστην, subj: ἦτον, opt: εἴτην, imp: ἔστον

 *alternative opt pl forms: εἴημεν, εἴητε, εἴησαν; dual: εἰήτην

Also quite a few M-forms occur such as du pa-in 1st  sg ἤμην, du imp 2nd sg ἔσσο, the whole future ἕσομαι; there is no difference in meaning.

 *This verb, being defective, is supplemented from other verbs that have the same

   general sense, such as γίγνομαι, ὑπάρχω.

 *This verb has many composites with prepositions.
