How the patterns shape this root
كَثِير (فَعِيل) is much or many — شُكْرًا كَثِيرًا, thanks a lot — and أَكْثَر (أَفْعَل) is more or most: أَكْثَرُ مِنْ, more than. كَثْرَة is abundance and أَكْثَرِيَّة a majority. The verbs follow the quality patterns: كَثُرَ (فَعُلَ) is to become many, form IV أَكْثَرَ مِنْ is to do a lot of something, and form VI تَكَاثَرَ is to multiply, as a population does.
