Roots in the Yaqobian language consist of a sequence of consonants, called radicals. Words are formed from the addition of vowels and suffixes, and reduplication of root consonants. The vast majority of Yaqobian roots are biradical (2 consonants) or triradical (3 consonants), though quadriradical and monoradical roots are also common, the latter overwhelmingly being common verbs and their derivatives, or determiners. | Roots in the Yaqobian language consist of a sequence of consonants, called radicals.
