===Trisyllabic lemmas===
===Trisyllabic lemmas===


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.
