Hebrew Root Queestion

Roy

I'm currently watching Dr. Heiser's "Mobile Ed: LA171 Learn to Use Biblical Hebrew in Logos" videos.

In segment 4 "Why the Centerpiece" he says that when right-clicking on a word, one of the left-hand choices you can make is "Root".

He then states that Root will not always be available as a choice but only when the word shares a common root with other words. Does this then mean that the word clicked on *IS* the root form?

I know nothing about Hebrew or Greek for that matter but this question crossed my mind.

Thanks in advance for any insight in this matter.

Does this then mean that the word clicked on *IS* the root form?

Quick answer: yes.  If it's listed, then it's the root (square root sign).  If it's not listed, then it's not shared with other lemmas.

In the example from yesterday's reading below,  I'm looking at the lemma for 'Ashera'.  On the left side menu, a root is also shown (small square root icon), which would allow me to expand beyond strictly 'Ashera' (the monograph was looking at various middle-eastern varients).
