    Classical Arabic is a Semitic language related to languages like Hebrew, Aramaic, and Akkadian. Like other Semitic languages, it uses a morphological system called nonconcatenative morphology. This involves deriving words from consonantal roots, where words containing the same root letters are related to a common semantic concept represented by that root, even if they differ in vowels, affixes, and meanings. For example, the root K-T-B relates to writing and derives words for actions like "he wrote" as well as nouns for things like "book", "desk", and "writer".

    above words are regarded as modified forms of this root, and are *obtained*
    or *derived* in some way from it.
