A Lexicon of Sound Triliteral Verbs Categorized by Their Derivational Paths

Abstract

The article discusses the nature of the sound, bare, trilateral roots,
focusing on their derivation in the present tense and what causes these
roots to take specific forms. This occurs sometimes with a unique direction,
and other times with a variety of directions, based on phonetic,
morphological, and semantic references. Through this study, we aim to
uncover the mechanism that governs these processes by raising a series of
questions about the root verb, which is of significant importance in both classical and modern linguistic studies. We followed a methodology
to arrive at some important conclusions about the topic, making the data
the center of observation, description, and classification. By examining

these data, we reached a partial explanation of this process, and the
conclusion is that the consonants of the root play an essential and active
role in determining the direction of the trilateral, bare, sound verb's
movement, based on its phonetic, morphological, and semantic features.
