Exegesis
The object of this verb is the genitive construction tou kraspedou tou himatiou autou {τοῦ κρασπέδου τοῦ ἱματίου αὐτοῦ | toû kras-pé-dou toû hi-ma-tí-ou au-toû}, literally “the fringe of His garment,” where the double genitive article plus noun chain specifies a particular part of His clothing.
The aorist verb estē {ἔστη | é-stē} “it stood, it stopped” takes as its subject the nominative phrase hē rhysis tou haimatos autēs {ἡ ῥύσις τοῦ αἵματος αὐτῆς | hē rhý-sis toû haí-ma-tos au-tês}, “the flow of her blood,” with the genitive tou haimatos specifying the type of flow and autēs marking possession. In translation, the participial clause is rendered as a temporal main clause (“Having come from behind, she... / She came up behind Him...”) for clarity, and estē is interpreted idiomatically as “stopped” to convey the intransitive sense of cessation that the context demands.
In context — Luke 8:44
Having come from behind, she touched the fringe of His garment, and immediately the flow of her blood stopped.
