Well well, here are some patterns I've learnt on the three-radical f'l root:
1 maF'aL = place where root is performed
maDRaS = school = place where you DaRaSa = study
maKTaB = office = place where you KaTaBa = write
ma RaB = bar = place where you aRiBa = drink
2 Fa'aLa = Perfect form of verb, second vowel can be a, i or u
3 Fa''aLa = Causative form of (2)
4 yaF'iLu = Imperfect form, second vowel can be a,i,u
5 Fu'uuL = Verbal Noun (maSdar)
6 Fa'iiL = Adjective
JaMiiL = beautiful
JaDiiD = new
