It's certainly interesting in theory. But in practice, how do you distinguish between a bookshop, library, office and desk when all of those things can be referred to by "maktab"?
And does inferring / generating words this way actually work? For example, can I say "makra" (مقرأ) for "Library", a place where you read? Based on the verb "yakra" (read).
- anticensor 8y agoClose enough, makra means auditorium.

Bookshop: matjar/dukkan (shop/store) kutub (books) Library: maktaba Office: maktab Desk: maktab The difference between office and desk is found from context.
