How the patterns shape this root
صَلَاة is the ritual prayer performed five times a day, plural صَلَوَات; the root's weak و shows as the ā in the middle. Form II صَلَّى is to pray — أُصَلِّي, I pray; صَلِّ, pray! — and its two participles are a pair you will see on signs: مُصَلٍّ (مُفَعِّل) is the person praying, مُصَلَّى (مُفَعَّل) is the place for it, the prayer room found in every mall, office and airport.
