_______________________________________________

(TKD, intro to the word list):  Sometimes one member of a set may be partially analyzed. For example, {jonta'} "engine" begins with {jon}, which is also found in {jonwI'} "engineer}, and ends with {ta'}, which also occurs in {mIqta'} "machinery." 

(MO to Lieven, 1/09/2012): "Words for bricklayer, roof maker, plumber, and so on are all based on the verb {mutlh}, meaning "construct, assemble, put together".  Someone who does this, then, is a {mutlhwI'}.  […]  The idea is that a {mutlhwI'} puts things together.
