===Trisyllabic lemmas=== | ===Trisyllabic lemmas=== | ||
The majority of | The majority of lemmas (citation forms of words) are trisyllabic. These always constitute a valid clause on their own, a ''word-clause'', 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 in their lemma forms. | ||
