As I understand it what you are saying is this: The "prefix" TA- is merely a meaningless bark, a kind of an abrupt rap one may use to playfully scare a child. The purpose of this pre-articulated TA-, you are saying, is to "turn" the root (or cluster of radical letters) KL, followed the meaningless brief shriek IYT, into an "abstract" noun. It is a perfect explanation, except that I don't believe that the Hebrew language is made up of barks and shrieks. 2. It appears to me that the root is antecedent to the meaning of the word.
