The Roots. Most Arabic words can be attributed to some 3-letter root,
where radicals are referred to by means of a prototypical root, فَعَلَ.
ف stands for the first radical, ع for the second, and ل for the third. This 3-letter root
form is the entry you need to use when you want to check out any word in any
Arabic dictionary. You should know by now how to dissect words in order to get
to that root. Mainly, you need to drop off any gender and number markers of the
noun/adjective. In case of the verbs, you need to drop off any subject, tense,
and mood markers.
