** Note 002:027. The derivatives from the root ا ر د carry multiple meanings.
One derivate from the root is the word اَرَادَ (araa-da), a verb in the past tense for single 3rd person covered in this Note. Another derivate is the word يُرِيۡدُ (yo-ree-do), a verb in the present tense and Modharae for a single 3rd person and is covered in Note 002:186.
