"ελεις"

Verb type: standard (-ω) verb (not -μι)

Lemma candidates: ['αἱρέω', 'ἐλαύνω']

Tense: present

Mood: indicative

Person: 2nd

Number: singular

Notes: As written (ελεις, without accents/breathings), this form is formally ambiguous: it can represent αἱρεῖς (from αἱρέω, 'you take/choose') or ἐλαύνεις (from ἐλαύνω, 'you drive', commonly contracted in spelling without the nu in some representations). Both analyses yield present active indicative 2nd singular.
