Exercise: Spot the roots
Repetition is one of a surah's structural signals. When a triliteral root recurs, the discourse is circling a concept. This exercise trains your eye to see it in the Arabic before any tool tells you.
Pick a short surah. Tap every word you believe shares a root with another word in the same surah. When you are done, reveal the answer: the recurring root families are highlighted and counted from the corpus data.

Recurring root families
Recurring here means: the root is attested on two or more word tokens within this surah, per the Leeds corpus morphological annotation. Repetition describes distribution in the text; it does not by itself establish meaning or emphasis.
