Dear all,
I was reading the wikipedia entry on arabic and came across this curious tidbit, any comments?
"With research scientists realized that the triconsonantal root consists
of: 1) two beginning sounds - a rootcell and 2) the third sound which is
a precision element. I.e.: the rootcell f-r has the meaning of scattering in space. Then, f-r-g means cleaving, f-r-d - making separate, f-r-s - tearing to pieces; the rootcell f-q means the main idea of absence, so: f-q-d means loosing, f-q-r means poverty and so on. "
