How the patterns shape this root
نَوْم is sleep, so غُرْفَةُ النَّوْمِ is the bedroom. The verb نَامَ is hollow: its و hides in the past (نَامَ) and the present (يَنَامُ), and the command is a tiny نَمْ, sleep! The sleeper is نَائِم (فَاعِل, with the و turned into a hamza seat). Form II نَوَّمَ is to put someone to sleep, and a مُنَوِّم is what does that — a sleeping pill.
