How the patterns shape this root
ثَلَاثَة is three; ثَالِث (فَاعِل) is third; الثُّلَاثَاء, Tuesday, is 'day three'. A ثُلُث is one third — fractions from three to ten take the shape فُعُل or فُعْل: ثُلُث، رُبْع، خُمْس، عُشْر. مُثَلَّث (مُفَعَّل), 'made three', is a triangle, and ثُلَاثِيّ is anything in three parts — including الْجَذْرُ الثُّلَاثِيُّ, the three-letter root that this whole map is built on.
