Question regarding the parsing of θαρσέω to the imperative θαρσει. As I have learned recently that the Present Active Imperative 2nd Person Singular ending is 'ε'. Why is an 'ι' added to the ending to form 'ει'? Always enjoy these videos

When you add ε to θαρσέω the two epsilons contract into ει… θαρσε + ε = θάρσει. You can look up online how contract vowels work in Koine Greek for extra information.
