In modern Hindi-Urdu (Hindustani), the Sanskrit verb अस् "(as)" (to be) which is derived from the Indo-European root "*" has developed into the present indicative forms of the verb होना ہونا "(honā)" (to be). The infinitive होना ہونا "(honā)" itself is derived from the Sanskrit verb root भू "(bʱū)" which is derived from Indo-European root "*." The indicative imperfect forms of होना ہونا "(honā)" comes from Sanskrit स्थित "(stʰita)" "standing, situated" which are derived from the PIE root *steh₂- (“to stand”). होना ہونا (honā) is the only verb in Hindi-Urdu to have the "present indicative", "imperfect indicative", "presumptive mood" and the "present subjunctive" conjugations, and all the other verbs in Hindi-Urdu lack them.
