Capstone: One Root Across Four Units

Captions available

The idea

This capstone follows a single root through four units to show that the word parts do not change when the subject does.

In practice

The root hem and hemat, blood, worked across the course.

Where people slip

Each term named a body system by its suffix, not by its root. The blood was constant; the location was not.
