The image displays a linguistic diagram explaining patterns in Hebrew word formation, using color-coded sections to group examples.

At the top is a green section illustrating a root consonant pattern. On the left, inside a green rounded rectangle, are three English phrases stacked vertically: 'she thought', 'he thought', and 'a computer'. Below this box is the label 'thinking' in green text. To the right, connected by green arrows, is a larger green oval containing Hebrew words transliterated into Latin script: ḥafva, ḥavav, and maḥfev. The arrow from 'she thought' points to ḥafva, 'he thought' points to ḥavav, and 'a computer' points to maḥfev. Below this oval is the label for the root consonants: ḥfv.

Below that is a blue section illustrating a different pattern. On the left, inside a blue rounded rectangle, are three phrases: 'she thought', 'she shut', and 'she received'. Below this box is the label 'she did X' in blue text. To the right, connected by blue arrows, is a larger blue oval containing Hebrew words: ḥafva, sagra, and kalta. The arrow from 'she thought' points to ḥafva, 'she shut' points to sagra, and 'she received' points to kalta. Below this oval is a schematic of the vowel pattern: _a__a (underscores representing consonant slots).

To the right of the green section is a block of text in quotation marks that reads: "Ok, it seems like what is happening in Hebrew is that the same three consonants show up in different configurations according to the meaning, and that the pattern of vowels in each word also has its own meaning".

At the bottom of the image, there are examples in black text. On the left side, 'she muttered' is listed above 'she spoke'. Next to 'she muttered' is the word milmla. Next to 'she spoke' is the word dibra. To the right of these words, explanatory text reads: "'mutter' actually has four consonants: mlml" (with mlml in bold). Below that, it describes a pattern: "a slightly different pattern: _i__a".
