How the patterns shape this root
أُمّ is mother — أُمِّي, my mother — and in names أُمُّ سَعْدٍ, 'mother of Saad'. The same root gives words for what people turn to and gather around: أَمَامَ, in front of; إِمَام, the one who stands in front to lead the prayer; أُمَّة, a nation or community, plural أُمَم as in الْأُمَمُ الْمُتَّحِدَةُ. أُمُومَة (فُعُولَة) is motherhood, and أُمِّيّ, 'as his mother bore him', means illiterate.
