How the patterns shape this root
كَانَ, 'he was', is the most frequent verb of all: a hollow root (كَانَ، يَكُونُ، كُنْ) that sets a sentence in the past — كَانَ الطَّقْسُ حَارًّا, the weather was hot. مَكَان (مَفْعَل) is the place where something is, plural أَمَاكِن, and كَوْن is the whole of what is, the universe; a كَائِن (فَاعِل) is a being. Form II كَوَّنَ is to form something, مُكَوِّن (مُفَعِّل) a component or ingredient, and form V تَكَوَّنَ مِنْ is to consist of.
