[Echolalia]

Essentially, the Arabic language is comprised of words stemming from roots, the majority being three letter sets which are morphologically manipulated to form each composite. Take, for example, the root "gh-w-y". Within the Modern Standard Dialect (the so-called "formal" or "umbrella" dialect), numerous patterned sequences amount to verbs, adjectives, nouns, verbal nouns, each suggesting something along the lines of "to stray", "to tempt", "error", "sin", "pitfall", etc... Across vernacular dialects this particular root appears to hold form with only slight variation, e.g. Yemeni, with definitions such as "to lead down the wrong path", "to make an error", and "child".

Does anybody else think the Yemeni people are on to something?
