How the patterns shape this root
شَكَا مِنْ is to complain of something — the doctor's first question is مِمَّا تَشْكُو؟ what do you complain of? The noun شَكْوَى (فَعْلَى) is a complaint, whether of pain or to a manager, plural شَكَاوَى. Form VIII اِشْتَكَى means the same as the simple verb and is more common in speech (أَشْتَكِي مِنْ أَلَمٍ فِي بَطْنِي), and شَاكٍ is the one complaining. A weak root: its words end in ـَا, ـَى or ـٍ.
