How the patterns shape this root
Two families share these letters. ثَمَن is the price — كَمِ الثَّمَنُ؟ how much is it? — ثَمِين (فَعِيل) is valuable, and form II ثَمَّنَ is to put a value on something, to appreciate it. The number eight, ثَمَانِيَة, is also here, with ثَامِن (فَاعِل) eighth and ثُمْن an eighth; grammarians see a link in the old market, where an eighth was a unit of price.
