L1's `shoresh` field was derived by stripping a prefix letter and a
suffix letter from the consonants and keeping the first three. וַיַּרְא
"and he saw" was engraved as ירא ("fear"); ויהי as יהי; שמים as שמ;
מזבח as מזב; הבאתי as בא. And parse_prefixes took a word's morphology
from the LAST morph segment, which for a suffixed word is the pronominal
suffix — so every suffixed noun and verb in Torah (לבבך, נפשך) was
classed as a suffix and written with no shoresh at all.
Every WLC word already carries its lemma, and the OSHB lexical index
files each lemma under its Brown-Driver-Briggs root (terumah §E2 named
BDB + Strong's as the root lexicon and marked it "needs consolidation").
scripts/build_l1.py now reads the root from that filing:
main the lemma is a root 23,750 words וירא → ראה
sub filed under a root 31,066 words מזבח → זבח
single stands alone in the lexicon 2,671 words משה → משה
none no etymology recorded → absent 3,002 words יוסף, מצרים
particles, pronouns → absent, as before 19,493 words את, אשר, כי
57,487 words carry a shoresh (was 51,836); 1,378 unique roots (was
2,608 fragments). Roots are written as the lexicon writes them — two
letters (בן), three, or more (שמאל).
WHAT CHANGED IN THE EDUT: only `shoresh`. Verified file by file — with
that one field removed, all 5,853 verse files are byte-identical to the
previous L1. Text, consonants, lemma, morph, te'amim, prefix, ketiv/
qere, large and small letters: untouched. The old builder, run against
the same morphhb checkout, reproduces the old hash exactly; the new
builder is deterministic (two runs, one hash).

Moved together, because they pin the hash or the count:

The Doorpost manifest is not touched; its hash does not move.
Note for the kohen: the goral's seed inherits the L1 hash, so lots cast
after this commit are cast from a different seed than the azazel
records already in L3. Those records are history and stand as written.

The Shoresh Engine never opened L1 to find a root. extractRoots called
every word of two or three letters a root and dropped every longer one:
את → א-ת-ה (padded with a He the text never wrote), ואת → ו-א-ת,
בכל → ב-כ-ל; ויאמר, ואהבת, אלהים → nothing. Handed all of Devarim 6:5
it found no א-ה-ב. Binyan was "Qal" for everything, nouns included.
shoresh-engine:
- Shoresh.Roots: an index over all of L1 (5853 verses, built once at
server start, <1 s). A word resolves, in order: from the verse in
scope (its own shoresh, with the binyan read from the verb's
morphology; else its lemma's shoresh — לבבך → לבב); else the way Torah
most often reads that surface form (its commonest lemma decides, so
אשר the particle has no root); else a root the asker named, if Torah
knows it. A word in the verse that L1 gives no root has none, whatever
a homograph elsewhere carries. Unknown words yield nothing.
- Roots are rendered as L1 records them: two letters stay two letters.
- binyan is null unless a verb stands in the scoped verse.
- L1 is found via L1_MOUNT_POINT, not the literal l1/ relative to cwd —
which is why parse_tree was null on the pod.
- Adds "surface" and "derivation" to each root (verse|lemma|torah|
named_root). 22 new HSpec examples; 55 examples, 0 failures.
vav_pipeline:
- normalize_root places a lemma-derived root at the word it was heard
from (L1 has no shoresh on לבבך to search by).
- A binyan is printed only where there is one; "binyan unknown" on a
noun claimed a question that does not exist.
- test/tablet33_engine_roots_test.exs: the new shape through the router.
- liveness_test: clear a halt leaked by halt_monitor_test (the seed
0/191243 flake, present since before tablet 30).
461 tests, 0 failures on seeds 0 42 191243.
Verified before push with BOTH built images, the real engine binary and
a local PostgreSQL 16 (SSL): Devarim 6:5 → א-ה-ב (Qal, word 1), י-ה-ו,
א-ל-ה, כ-ל (words 5,7,9), ל-ב-ב, נ-פ-ש, מ-א-ד; 4 interpretations
written to L3, 0 L3_WRITE_FAILED, health healthy.
NOT repaired here: the quality of L1's own shoresh field, which the
engine is now faithful to — ויהי is recorded as יהי, שמים as שמ, יהוה
as יהו, הבאתי as בא. That is the quarry's tablet (scripts/build_l1.py)
and it changes the L1 hash; a decision, not a patch.
