How the patterns shape this root
مَطَر is rain, plural أَمْطَار, a word of celebration in Saudi Arabia, where rain is rare. The verb is usually form IV: أَمْطَرَتِ السَّمَاءُ, the sky rained, and the participle مُمْطِر (مُفْعِل) describes a rainy day, يَوْمٌ مُمْطِرٌ. The older simple verb مَطَرَ and its participle مَاطِر survive in writing. Rain is a thing from the sky, so the root has few words; the tree is small but every word in it is heard in a weather report.
