How the patterns shape this root
خَافَ مِنْ is to be afraid of — a hollow root: خَافَ، يَخَافُ, and the command خَفْ; لَا تَخَفْ, don't be afraid. خَوْف is fear, خَائِف (فَاعِل, with the و as a hamza seat) is the frightened person, and مُخِيف (مُفْعِل) is the frightening thing — a scary film. Form IV أَخَافَ is to frighten someone; form V تَخَوَّفَ is to feel apprehension about something.
