How the patterns shape this root

حَسَبَ is to count or calculate. حِسَاب (فِعَال) is the count — a bank account, the bill at a restaurant (الْحِسَابُ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ), or arithmetic. The accountant is مُحَاسِب (مُفَاعِل), his work مُحَاسَبَة, and a حَاسِبَة (فَاعِلَة) is 'the thing that counts', a calculator. مَحْسُوب is what has been counted, and حُسْبَان reckoning: فِي الْحُسْبَانِ, taken into account. The same spelling حَسَبَ, said with a final a, is the preposition 'according to'.
