Root word

A root word was the original word, sans prefixes and suffixes.
In 2365, Data attempted to decipher the Iconian language by comparing root words from related languages Iccobar, Dewan and Dinasian, giving the examples, "mother, father, child, home, tribe, food, life, death, yours, ours, mine" and so on. ()
