How the patterns shape this root
بَيْت is the place where you spend the night — the house, the home — and its plural بُيُوت is the pattern فُعُول. The verb بَاتَ, 'he spent the night', keeps the same picture: a hollow root whose ي shows in the present يَبِيتُ. مَبِيت is an overnight stay, and the ending ـِيّ gives بَيْتِيّ, home-made.
