Adopted Roots ______________________________________________
Adopted roots are three consonant roots that evolved out of the parent or child root. This list includes all the adopted roots where all the words derived from it are used more than 25 times inclusively, in the Hebrew Bible. Just as in the parent and child root list, this list only contains the root and not the words derived from it, though the words are closely related in meaning to the adopted root.
While 80% of the words in the Bible are words derived from the parent or child roots, another 15% are derived from these adopted roots providing a fairly comprehensive root dictionary.
