     Considering the effect segmentation has on this introflexive type it may be viewed as a special case of the agglutinative type: Every "normal" word (word stem) can be broken down into a (discontinuous) root (normally consisting of three consonants C₁C₂C₃) and a stem-constitutive morpheme: fataha 'to open (tr.)' must be analyzed as /f...t...h/ 'OPEN' (the root) plus /CaCaCa/, which represnents the basic verbal stem, also called the first (verbal) stem or stem I.

     The introflexive type is relatively strongly developed in the Semitic languages; it never serves as a basis for the whole structure of a language, but is always combined with another, more extensively developed type.
