Hebrew is a "root" language with basic meanings of words derived from the consonents. This is different than English and other Indo-Eurpean languages where the vowels have equal weight as the consonents. Thus, in Hebrew, the consonents CTB(or V) has something to do with "writing". From this basic root, there is derived CoTeV=writing or author, CaTTav= reporter, CaTuV=written, CeTuVim=Scriptures, CaTaVti= I wrote, eC(kh)ToV=I will write, CeToVet=address, and so on.
