All,

The list of Hebrew roots below is composed by the successive substitution of the equivalents: G, H, X, K, Q followed by the successive substitution of the equivalents: D, Z, T [tet], Y, S, C, S [sin], $, T [tav], with a medial R. All roots are manifestly referring to one sort or another of trituration, filing by abrasion, scraping, scratching, grating, grinding, rasping, shredding, rubbing, hacking, carving, engraving, severing or crushing as typically occurring in the vigorous working of metal, wood or clay, or breaking up the hard soil with a plow. The meaning of dispersion or aggregation inherent in all of them them is as predicted by the presence of the letter R. An asterisk denotes an extra-biblical root.
