Radical-Metathesis

To feed the list a little... My sketch 8.1.5 uses radical-metathesis,
that is, the root have the shape CCC, and the order of the consonants indicate
a morphological category.

For example:

rbl > rlb > railabi "know"
rbl > brl > bairali "learn"

Does it exist any natlang that exhibit this feature?
If it does, are there any restrictions?
If not, do you judge it to be unlearnable*?

*as a productive pattern for a native speaker
