Notable Historical Usage

Arabic builds its vocabulary on consonantal roots, usually of three letters, poured into fixed patterns: one root yields the verb, the doer, the thing done and the place it happens. Names are drawn straight from that system, which is why a single root can stand behind a whole family of related names that look and sound like kin.
