All lemmata (citation forms of words) are either
===Trisyllabic lemmas===


# '''trisyllabic''', a grouping of three allowable syllables, or
The majority of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemma_(morphology) lemmas] (citation forms of words) are trisyllabic. These always constitute a valid clause on their own, containing both a triconsonantal noun as the subject and a trivocalic verb as the predicate. Trisyllabic lemma clauses are always, by definition, self-evidently true sentences of the structure "the X is an X" (or "that which X-es X-es"), and therefore rather void of pragmatic purpose. Here are some examples of trisyllabic roots.
# '''augmented''', a trisyllabic root with attached derivational affixes.
 
A lemma always constitutes a valid clause on its own, containing both a triconsonantal noun as the subject and a trivocalic verb as the predicate. Augmented roots contain an additional nominal prefix and a verbal suffix. Lemma clauses are always, by definition, self-evidently true sentences of the structure "the X is an X" (or "that which X-es X-es"), and therefore rather void of pragmatic purpose. Here are some examples of trisyllabic roots.




Line 187: Line 184:




Here are some examples of augmented roots. In their lemma form, which contains both the noun and verb forms, both the nominal prefix and verbal suffix are present, which will not be the case when combined with other roots. All of these words given here are proper names.
===Quadrasyllabic lemmas===
