SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis 6 main tasks is to explain
GRAMMAR the same way modern Hebrew books
explain GRAMMAR. We call this the Rashi GRAMMAR rule.
Rashi had three broad sub-rules in explaining GRAMMAR

(1) A major component of Hebrew GRAMMAR are the rules
governing conjugations of VERBS, or HEBREW ROOTS.
There are 7 grammatical modes with half a dozen
parameters: tense, person, gender, plurality,
connective words...

(2) Another component of GRAMMAR deals with
PREFIXES-SUFFIXES and other letters, or small words,
that  indicate changes in meanings.This PREFIX-SUFFIX
subrule includes the rules governing the rules of
plural, gender, pronouns etc. We are still making
discoveries of PREFIX-SUFFIX rules today.

(3) Finally a more advanced part of GRAMMAR deals
with the rules of entire SENTENCES. The SENTENCE
rules includes the rules governing sentence order,
apposition, and compound sentences


EXAMPLES Nu34-06a
-----------------
Nu34-06a states
----------------------------------------------
The western border:
- It will be the Mediteranean sea & its borders
This will be the western border
----------------------------------------------

Rashi on the opening phrase THE WESTERN BORDER: states
--------------------------------------------
This phrase is understood as being in APPOSITION:
That is the verse could be read
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The Mediteranean sea and its
borders are THE WESTERN BORDER
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
--------------------------------------------

LIST075a below summarizes this apposition and
brings in many more examples.

EXAMPLE Nu34-04b
----------------
Verse Nu34-04 states
------------------------------------------
And the southern border rolls to MAALAY AKRABIM
and continues TOWARDS Tzin [the actual Hebrew
word used is TzinAH; Tzin is the name of a desert;
to this name is added a TERMINAL HEY: Tzin+HEY=
Tzinah]
------------------------------------------

Rashi comments on the TZIN+HEY formation
------------------------------------------
TZIN+HEY has the same meaning as LAMED+TZIN.
The prefix LAMED in Hebrew means TOWARDS.
Hence TzinAH means TOWARDS Tzin.
------------------------------------------

LIST045a below contains half a dozen Rashis
illustrating this principle. Characteristic
of Rashi, important subrules, are also mentioned.

LIST045a
(C) Dr Hendel, Jan-04

List of verses with      Terminal HEY=Prefix LAMED=TO
VERSE TERMINAL HEY = TO Text of Verse (TO, CAPPED)
Nu34-04b TziNaH = To Tzin border passes TOWARDS Tzin
Gn28-02a PadenA = to padan Jacob, go TO Paden Aram
Gn28-02b BaiytA = to the house Jacob, go TO Laban's house
Gn46-01a BeerA Shava = to beer sheva*1 Jacob came TO Beer Sheva
Gn14-10b HerA = to the mountain Survivors fled TO mountain
COMMENTS
*1 Rashi adds an important subrule on the TERMINAL HEY rule
--------------------------------------------------------
When you have a compound word BEER SHEVA, then the
terminal Hey is placed on the FIRST word of the pair.
That is
- CORRECT: BeerAH Shava
- INCORRECT: Beer ShavAH
--------------------------------------------------------
Such adding of subrules is characteristic of Rashi.
