Algorithmic classification of verb roots transformations
-
Hello, i am sharing a preprint entitled “قياس أوزان الأفعال”. The paper proposes an algorithmic classification of all Qurʾānic verb roots into ten classes and supplies a fully annotated spreadsheet of 900 + roots.
Highlights
• Demonstrates how each class predicts both meaning shifts (استغفر Involves asking, استخرج involves taking, etc.) and syntactic behaviour (e.g. أمره بالمعروف vs. هداه الطريق).• Includes complete Qurʾānic coverage.
• Released in pre-print form owing to health constraints; community feedback and corrections are warmly encouraged.

Importance of the work If this classification holds true, it could reshape how we analyze the Arabic language as a whole—not just verb roots. An algorithmic logic could also be present in the classification of nouns, prepositions, and other higher- or lower-order structures.
Thank you for taking a look, and please feel free to circulate the link or send me your comments.
