Do I understand from the responses that:
 
       HN is 'past' tense of ESTIN; 
 
while one of my resource (Interlinear Scripture Analyzer which was from
http://www.concordant.info/ ) says 
 
      HN is 'past' tense (imperfect) of EIMI.
 
thus ESTIN and EIMI are essentially same meaning?  
 
I thought the two are different  words (one of being about 'existing' and
another one being about 'being' (copulative).
 
Sorry for keep asking; my electronic resources (Gk dictionaries etc) are
out of reach once my computer had conked out.
