How the patterns shape this root
وَلَد is a boy or child, plural أَوْلَاد (the pattern أَفْعَال). The parents are the ones who 'bring forth': وَالِد the father and وَالِدَة the mother, on the doer pattern فَاعِل. وُلِدَ is 'he was born' — وُلِدْتُ فِي إِنْدُونِيسِيَا — and the newborn is مَوْلُود (مَفْعُول). مِيلَاد is the birth, so تَارِيخُ الْمِيلَادِ is the date of birth on every form; the و of the root turns into ي after the i of مِفْعَال.
