Ultra‑regular template

Orin eliminates verb patterns (binyanim): each root yields exactly one series built from the citation stem (traditionally PaˈCal‑shaped: כָּתַב, רָאַה, לָמַד …).

  • Present — stem + theme vowel −a on the suffix syllable: כָּתַבָה writes’ (same for אַנִי ,אַתַּ ,הוּ …).

  • Past — stem ends with −e vocalism on the suffix syllable: כָּתַבֶה ‘wrote’.

  • Future — prefix יַ‑ ya‑ + present stem: יַכָּתַבָה ‘will write’.

Nominals from the same stem

  • Agent noun — suffix −י ‑i: כָּתַבִי ‘writer’.

  • Process noun — distinct vocalism כְּתַבַה ktaba ‘writing’ to avoid homography with the present verb in pedagogical materials.

The paradigm embed below freezes one exemplar root (כ‑ת‑ב); substitute stems mechanically.
