How the patterns shape this root
The root's two ب merge into one with shadda, so the verb looks short: أَحَبَّ 'he loved', present يُحِبُّ — أُحِبُّ الْقَهْوَةَ, I like coffee, لَا أُحِبُّ, I don't. حُبّ is love, حَبِيب (فَعِيل) the beloved and مَحْبُوب (مَفْعُول) someone who is loved. The same letters name a grain or seed, حَبّ, and one of them, حَبَّة, is also a pill at the pharmacy — the heart was once pictured as a seed.
