I can't check the right resources just now, but I think it may be a somewhat irregular verb. Check out Mark 10:21, where the same form is used for present active indicative second person singular, where you would expect an [face=spionic]eij[/face] ending.

Then the LSJ is misleading. By these two references it seems that the subject is the thing lacked and the object is the person lacking it.

I suspect Bingley is right
compare the French use of "manquer"
[face=SPIonic]u(stere/w[/face] : of persons, 'lack'; of things, [face=SPIonic]u(.tina/ [/face] 'be deficient/lacking' to one
