The concept of the grammatical root was an important tool for medieval lexicographers. Yet, Sa'adia Gaon, who was the first to differentiate between formative letters and radicals in Hebrew morphology, did not use grammatical roots in his linguistic works. Though he saw separate functions for each consonant in a word, there is no evidence that Sa'adia accepted or applied the concept of consonantal roots in his grammatical works. Through an analysis of data including individual entries in <i>hâ-'Egrôn</i>, verb paradigms and linguistic terminology, the author shows that Sa'adia used basic forms instead to derive verbs and nouns.
