How the patterns shape this root

قَامَ is to stand up (قُمْ, get up!) and, with بِـ, to carry out a task. A hollow root, so the و shows as ū or ī: يَقُومُ، إِقَامَة، مُقِيم. Form IV أَقَامَ is to stay in a place — to reside — and its noun إِقَامَة is the residence permit every expatriate in Saudi Arabia carries; the resident is مُقِيم (مُفْعِل). A قَائِمَة (فَاعِلَة), 'standing thing', is a list — قَائِمَةُ الطَّعَامِ, the menu. قِيمَة is value, قَوْم a people, and form X اِسْتَقَامَ gives مُسْتَقِيم, straight: سِرْ مُسْتَقِيمًا, go straight on.
