Subject:Borrowing Verbs in Arabic query

I wonder whether Arabic borrow verbs. Arabic verbs of foreign origin  
such as yu'aksid (oxidize) and yugalwin (galvanize) are usually derived  
form borrowed nouns. At the same time, such verbs are restricted to  
standard written Arabic and not spoken variety.
