¹ It is possible that ἐπανίστημι and ἐπίστασις[b], with the prefix ἐπι, differ in some measure from ἀνίστημι[h] and στάσις[a] by virtue of the prefixal element which may suggest action directed specifically toward some object, but there is insufficient contextual evidence to support such distinct meanings.
