Summary/Abstract: The brief introductory part deals with the problem of root in. Arabic in general, and with the basic objectives the present author set himself in the present paper, in accordance 'with the topic as stated in the title. Closer consideration of the quadriliteral roots follows. First, a survey is given of the basic verb-forms and of the four types of the main deverbal forms. The following longer chapter consists of separate parts in which the ways in which quadriliterals are formed are discussed. These are: 1) reduplication of biliterals (i. e. roots with two radicals each); 2) affixation of the new radical on the triliterals (i. e. roots with three radicals); 3) reduplication 'of the third radical of the triliteral; 4) denominative formation of quadriliterals (in"verbs); 5) formation of quadriliterals from the elements of various syntagms (the so-called naht-contamination); 6) shifting (qalb - metathesis) of the radicals of the quadriliterals, and 7) mutual interchange (ibdal) of radicals of quadriliterals.
