All Arabic verbs have a root of 3 or 4 letters. To make different verbs, suffixes and prefixes are added or certain letters are dropped.ย
The verb โูุนูโ (to do)ย is commonly a template to demonstrate how verbs change so not all the forms demonstrated have a meaning. Using the same verb across the different verb forms makes it easy to understand what has been added to the root, or what is missing from the root.
