How the patterns shape this root
أَلَم is pain, plural آلَام (the hamza of أَفْعَال merges with the root's hamza into آ). Form IV آلَمَ is to cause pain — رَأْسِي يُؤْلِمُنِي, my head hurts me — and its participle مُؤْلِم (مُفْعِل) is painful. Form V تَأَلَّمَ is to be in pain yourself. Hamza roots keep the same patterns; only the seat of the hamza changes: أَلَم، آلَام، مُؤْلِم.
