How the patterns shape this root
قَلْب is the heart — مِنْ كُلِّ قَلْبِي, with all my heart — and the centre of anything, قَلْبُ الْمَدِينَةِ. The root's action is turning over, because the heart was thought to turn from mood to mood: قَلَبَ is to flip something, مَقْلُوب (مَفْعُول) is upside down and the name of a rice dish turned out of its pot, form V تَقَلَّبَ is to keep changing or toss in bed, and form VII اِنْقَلَبَ is to overturn, with اِنْقِلَاب a coup. قَلْبِيّ is cardiac: نَوْبَةٌ قَلْبِيَّةٌ, a heart attack.
