| Abstract: | A large number of verbs in Maltese are composed of two basic derivational morphemes, a consonantal root and a pattern (binyan), interwoven within each other in a non-concatenative manner. The root is a discontinuous morpheme of 3 or 4 consonants in fixed sequence. The consonants, also known as radicals, form a skeleton on which the vowels are intercalated and affixes are added. |
