PKD has 8 MEANINGS |
RASHIS COVERED: Lv26-16a Nu01-50a Nu01-49a PKD as 8 meanings
VERY BRIEF SUMMARY
------------------
THe root PKD has 8 meanings. THese meanings can vary
depending upon the grammatical mode used and the context
Here are some rules
-- in the PASSIVE, PKD means MISSING
-- in the AcTIVE with PREPOSITION ETH, PKD means REMEMBER
-- in the ACTIVE with PREPOSITION AL, PKD means VISIT ON
-- in the AcTIVE with no PREPOSITION, PKD means REVU
-- in the CAUSATIVE, PKD means to APPOINT
However if numbers are mentioned in the verse then even
in the AcTIVE or CAUSATIVE, PKD can mean COUNTINGS
REFERENCE
---------
I first tackled this difficult root in
http://www.Rashiyomi.com/h2n7.htm (Posting v4-1-50)
One can also look up http://www.Rashiyomi.com/nu01-50a.htm
In that posting I simply noted that CONTEXT can distinguish
between PKD meaning APPOINT vs COUNT
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
---------------
Yossi Zoimen who has frequently contributed to this list
pointed out that PKD always means APPOINT in the CAUSATIVE
and always means COUNT in the ACTIVE. This is true with some
additional nuances being present. 2 exceptions are dealt with
in the main postings at
http://www.RashiYomi.com/nu31-48a.htm at

COMMENTS |
*1 The concept of VISITING SINS AGAINST PEOPLE occurs
- in the ACTIVE (Ex32-34)
- in the CAUSATIVE (Lv26-16a)
Rashi resolves this by translating
I will APPOINT their sins against them
At any rate the ACTIVE tense
- DOES use PKD to denote VISITING punishment
- DOES not use PKD to denote APPOINTING an officer
