Just off the top of my head, in Hebrew the G-R-L root gives you both fate (goral) and lottery (hagralah). The grammatical form of hagralah connotes causing something to happen, and in that sense the word for lottery has a deeper meaning, that it determines your fate. Same for the S-V/B-R root - you get clear (savir), explanation (hesber), and what's usually mistranslated as propaganda (hasbarah - Google that transliteration and you'll get lots of political articles). Hasbarah is when you're trying to explain something to somebody so that it will be clear to them. These words are all completely independent and come from disparate sources in English, but the Semitic root system ties them together.
