It is not clear to me what this "nexis" (or nexus) is. Also, how are "etymologically related words" related by a meaningless root. Are לחם LEXEM, 'bread, solid food', and מלחמה MI-LXAM-AH, 'combat', related?

It's better to think of each 'root meaning' as being a nexis of etymologically related words, and you can have several of these nexes for each root.
