There are several kinds of Arabic Roots which don't obey the rules as they should. Three of these are:
1. Stems with aa, ii, and uu as one of the "consonants" (these verbs tend to use all three, depending on the tense):
q-aa-l to say
"na-quul" we say
2. Stems with ' (glottal stop) as one of the consonants (sometimes the ' glottal stop gets deleted or changed to something else):
q-r-' to read
3. Stems with two of the same letters in a row (sometimes the two "same" letters are squished together and the vowels are put in a funny place):
t-m-m to complete, "perfection"
Learning the ways to conjugate these verbs takes practice, and we will study verbs like this slowly over time.
