How the patterns shape this root

لَحْم is meat, plural لُحُوم. The butcher is لَحَّام (فَعَّال) and his shop is مَلْحَمَة (مَفْعَلَة) — the same word, oddly, means an epic battle, a place where flesh meets flesh. Form VIII اِلْتَحَمَ is to fuse together, said of a healing wound or bone, and in everyday Gulf speech لَحْمَة is simply meat.
