How the patterns shape this root
هَتَفَ is to call out — the cheer of a crowd is هُتَاف (on the فُعَال pattern of sounds, like سُؤَال). When the telephone arrived, Arabic named it 'the caller': هَاتِف (فَاعِل), plural هَوَاتِف — رَقْمُ الْهَاتِفِ, phone number; الْهَاتِفُ الْجَوَّالُ, the mobile. From the noun grew form III هَاتَفَ, to phone someone, and مُهَاتَفَة, a call; the adjective هَاتِفِيّ appears in مُكَالَمَةٌ هَاتِفِيَّةٌ.
