How the patterns shape this root
أَكَلَ is to eat; the command كُلْ, eat!, drops the hamza altogether, like خُذْ. أَكْل is eating — بَعْدَ الْأَكْلِ, after eating, on the medicine label — and أَكْلَة, with ة, is one dish. مَأْكُولَات (مَفْعُول) are 'things eaten', the dishes on a menu; آكِل is the one eating, and أَكُول (فَعُول) someone who eats a lot.
