Past Tense Stem Vowels in Arabic Verbs

According to some grammarians the medial stem vowel can be understood
as follows:
1. When the stem vowel is Damma u as in Hasuna, kabura it refers to a
permanent quality or at least a quality of long duration.
2. When the medial vowel is kasra i it refers to a quality of short
duration as in shariba, 3amila, sami3a and 3alima
This is not always evident. In addition most verbs in Arabic have fatHa
as the stem vowel. Any ideas.
Thanks
