As I have said before, in contrast to English, Hebrew is a root based language,***
I don't know what you mean exactly by "root".
In all cases English and Germanic in general has phenomena similar to Semitic: foot, feet ; long, length ; drink, drank, drunk.

***
with a resulting vast interconnectivity between different
words derived from the same (or similar) root of a very basic meaning. The root חל (a variant of***
גל, גלל, הל, הלל, חל, חלל, כל, כלל, קל, קלל)
essentially means 'amass, accumulate'. In Numbers 31:9 חיל refers to the mass of earthly holdings , while in numbers 31:14 it refers to a mass of men.
Consider the the very first biblical verb ברא commonly translated as "created". But can I can get an inkling of its intended meaning only by relating it to the roots פרא, פרה, פרע
