Tagalog words are, or are based on, two-syllable or three-syllable stems. These disyllabic or trisyllabic items are in their turn based on monosyllabic roots. For instance, the following terms seem to be based on the root √kad foot lákad walk, lakád bare-footed, *kadkád ▸ kaladkád drag, shuffle, *ka-dag ▸ karág heavy footstep, síkad kick, singkád in one jump (e.g. santaóñg singkád a full year), takád base, foundation ▸ *t-ay-akád ▸ tayakád mobile hut, *t-i-akád ▸ tiyakád stilt, tangkád high-legged ▸ *t-ay-angkád ▸ tayangkád long-legged, tákad a bamboo stem left for regrowth, *k-i-ad ▸ kiyád ▸ takiyád ▸ takyád stilt.
