i{sthmi is intransitive in the second aorist ( e[sthn) and perfect. "Intransitive" means it does not take a direct object. i{sthmi is transitive in the present, future, and first aorist. "Transitive" means it takes a direct object. This is the one mi verb that does not use a kappa aorist. Notice the shift to the rough breathing in the perfect middle/passive.
