What are some words from the root corpus?

You are asking about words from the "root corpus," but that phrase is not commonly used in linguistics. "Corpus" refers to a collection of written or spoken material used for linguistic analysis, and it doesn't have a "root" in the same way that a word has a root.

However, I can provide some examples of words that are often studied as "roots" in language:

* Proto-Indo-European roots: These are reconstructed forms of words from a hypothetical ancestral language, from which many languages in Europe and Asia are derived. Examples include:

* *kwent- (meaning "to speak") - English "quack," "quotient," "ken"

* *gʷeh₁- (meaning "to go") - English "go," "gate," "way"

* *dʰew- (meaning "to shine") - English "day," "dawn," "dew"

* Latin roots: Latin was the language of the Roman Empire, and many words in English and other Romance languages are derived from Latin roots. Examples include:

* scrib- (meaning "to write") - English "scribe," "script," "describe"

* port- (meaning "to carry") - English "port," "portable," "transport"

* duc- (meaning "to lead") - English "duke," "conduct," "induce"

* Greek roots: Ancient Greek is another source of many English words, particularly in scientific and academic fields. Examples include:

* bios (meaning "life") - English "biology," "biopsy," "biodegradable"

* geo (meaning "earth") - English "geology," "geography," "geophysics"

* tele (meaning "far") - English "telephone," "television," "telegraph"

If you can provide more context or specific examples, I can give you more relevant information about words and their roots.
