Mounce has this on EIMI:
"To form the imperative of EIMI, normal endings are
added to the root *ES. EIMI has no aorist form."
2 sg ISQI
3 sg ESTW
2 pl ESTE
3 pl ESTWSAN
Mounce doesn't exactly say which imperatives this EIMI
conjugation represents. I guessed the PRESENT ACTIVE.
If that is so, then does the AORIST Active imperatives
of -MI verbs (example, ANISTHMI) use the same endings
as the PRESENT Active of EIMI?
