COMMENTS

*1 Rashi supplements this explanation by
citing verses where RKA means to
FLATTEN OUT(eg Isa42-05,P136-07,
2S22-43, Ez06-11,Ex39-03, Nu17-04,
Jr10-09--in all these verses RKA
means to flatten out/crush)
*2 Perhaps the punchiest example is the following
- PENTAGON - named by form
- U.N. ----- named by function
*3 - STATURE is an attribute of HUMANS
- HEIGHT is an attribute of OBJECTS
*4 Rashi makes the same point (Using Old French)
at Gn49-26c

LONGER FOOTNOTES

*10 Rashi does say
--------------------------------------------
HAIL SHEEP means SHEEP WITH PATCHES; and
there are no supporting verses in the Bible
--------------------------------------------
It appears that Rashi is saying that this
meaning cant be proven.
But we did prove it using the principle of
form.
Rather what Rashi really means is that
-------------------------------------
this translation cannot be proven
using inference from USAGE IN OTHER
VERSES
-------------------------------------
Our point is that
-------------------------------------
This translation can be proven using
the principle of NAMING BY FORM
-------------------------------------
So Rashi was NOT making a magnanimous
statement that the meaning cant be
proven...rather he was simply stating
that it cant be proven by examining
other verses---it however can be proven
by using other rules such as naming
by FORM/APPEARANCE.
This is an important concept--there are
30-60 Rashi rules...often one rule doesnt
work but other rules do work. Understand
this.
*11 Rashi mentions a further point that the disease
in incurable. Rashi also cites other verses
where the Biblical root WINDING is used.
