Mazlum Kiper
Mazlum (''maẓlūm'') is an Arabic term for "oppressed, ill-treated, injured, sinned-against" (the antonym being ''ẓālim'' "oppressor"; triliteral, root ''ẓlm'' "to oppress"). In Shiism, the term adopted a meaning of "pietistic" tolerance, given as a byname to Husayn ibn Ali, who was killed in the Battle of Karbala. The term is used for a person who is unwilling to act against an injustice, not out of cowardice but out of generosity or forbearance.Hamid Enayat, ''Modern Islamic Political Thought'', I.B.Tauris, 2005p. 183 Expectation of the Millennium: Shi'ism in History, eds.

Such abstract consonantal roots are used in the formation of actual words by adding the vowels and non-root consonants (or "transfixes") which go with a particular morphological category around the root consonants, in an appropriate way, generally following specific patterns. It is a peculiarity of Semitic linguistics that a large majority of these consonantal roots are triliterals (although there are a number of quadriliterals, and in some languages also biliterals). Such roots are also common in other Afroasiatic languages. Notably, while Berber mostly has triconsonantal roots, Egyptian and its modern descendant, Coptic, both prefer biradical and monoradical roots.
