SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis 5 main goals is the clarification of meaning
the same way the dictionary clarifies meaning. Rashi will
frequently comment on special connective words such as IF,
BECAUSE, PERHAPS. We call this the Rashi method of SPECIAL
CONNECTIVE WORDS / connective words.

EXAMPLE Ex04-26c
----------------
The word EL, Aleph-Lamed is usually translated
at TO. However it can equally mean TO, ON, IN,
WITH, and FROM. This rule applies equally to
the whole word Aleph-Lamed as well as to the
individual prefix letter, Lamed. In the verse
below we, following Rashi, translate prefix Lamed
as CONCERNING, not as TO.

The text of Ex04-26 states
-------------------------------------------
When the angel trying to kill Moses for not
circumcising his son stopped trying to kill
Moses, after Moses had circumcised his son,
Tziporah said: My hubby almost died CONCERNING
circumcision
-------------------------------------------

Rashi comments
---------------------------------------------
[The prefix Lamed means] CONCERNING circumcision.
The remainder of the word is a noun--CIRCUMCISION
The prefix LAMED means CONCERNING. Another
example may be found in Ex14-03 AND PHAROH SAID
CONCERNING THE JEWISH PEOPLE. The aramaic
translation...
