Maybe more of a question for Mesorah, but... What would the shoresh of
a tav-ayin-tav-ayin word be in an exclusively Three Letter Root system?

IE explaines kimsa'teia' there as "kaful, mgezeriras to'eh" like a person
who causes another to err. And HaKesav vehaQabbalah, "migezeiras to'eh,
and the pei and ayin [of the shoresh] are doubled..."

So I am not sure the difference is all that stark. Maybe it is more that
"stray" and "err" are farther apart than each's closest Hebrew equivalent.

Tir'u baTov!
