41.4 In the 2nd PERSON SINGULAR ACTIVE of both the PRESENT and SECOND AORIST verbs, the imperative regularly uses the personal ending –ε (S 466a). This is the most common ending, in fact, for 2nd person singular active imperatives.
- λῦε, ὦ βασιλεῦ, τὸν ἵππον.
- King, release your horse!
- λάμβανε, ὦ βασιλεῦ, τὸν ἵππον.
- King, hold on to your horse!
- λίπε, ὦ βασιλεῦ, τὸν ἵππον.
- King, leave your horse!
41.5 Note that in the singular, five thematic SECOND AORIST imperatives accent their ULTIMA, rather than following the rule of recessive accent (S 424b):
- εἰπέ Say!
- ἐλθέ Come!
- εὑρέ Find!
- ἰδέ See!
- λαβέ Take!
