One of Rashis 6 main goals is to explain the meaning of
words the same way a dictionary does. There are many ways
for Rashi to explain meaning
-- Rashi can simply give the meaning of an unknown word
-- or, Rashi can contrast the nuances in two synonyms
-- or, Rashi can show a unity to diverse meanings.
