Dt33-27d MeOn:MeONaH::Dwelling::Home VERY BRIEF SUMMARY In Hebrew you can place a HEY as a suffix to any word. The new word with the HEY then indicates either (a) ALOT OF eg. N-G-F=Attack; M-G-F-H=plague (b) EXTENSIONS: eg Tz-D-K=justice;TzDKH=Charity (c) PERMANANCE:eg MeON=Dwelling;MeONah=Home The list below displays examples of this principle. A standard simple example is the feminine grammatical form: Thus MLCh=King while MLChH=The QUEEN whose power extends the Kings. ---------------------------------------- TODAYS RASHI RULE: GRAMMAR TODAYS RASHI SUBRULE: GENDER ---------------------------------------- STANDARD REFERENCES FOR THIS RULE The 6 Rashi rule classes http://www.RashiYomi.com/rules-01.htm The RashiYomi grammar page http://www.Rashiyomi.com/grammar.htm TODAYS LIST Examples of the SUFFIX-FEMININE HEY are presented. Note that our explanation deviates from the Rashi text that we have | ||
| ROOT | MEANING | MEANING WITH HEY |
| N-G-F | Attack | Plague*1 |
| Y-A-D | To Meet | Congregation*2 |
| R-C-V | To Ride | Chariot*3 |
| ---------- | ---------------- | ------------------- |
| A-D-M | Man | Cultivated Land*4 |
| Tz-D-K | Justice | Charity*5 |
| M-L-Ch | King | Queen*6 |
| ---------- | ---------------- | ------------------- |
| N-T-N | To Give | The Gift*7 |
| P-L-L | To Bless | The Blessing*8 |
| Me-On | Dwelling/Cave | Home/Lair*9 |
| COMMENTS | ||
*1 ATTACK could denote just ONE attack, while
a PLAGUE denotes ALOT OF ATTACKS
*2 To MEET could denote one meeting while CONGREGATION
indicates ALOT OF MEETINGS at one time
*3 TO RIDE could denote one ride on a horse;
A CHARIOT describes a utensil designed for
ALOT OF RIDING
*4 The word E-R-Tz denotes LAND. By contrast
A-D-M-H denotes HUMAN LAND--that is
CULTIVATED LAND. Thus ADAMAH indicates
the EFFECTS and EXTENSION of man.
*5 Tz-D-K indicates JUSTICE. CHARITY can
be perceived as an EXTENSION of Justice
Giving someone something they deserve
but cant legally claim
*6 The QUEENs power is an EXTENSION
of the Kings power
*7 Any object can be given; But a GIFT
is a something specially wrapped--
something the recipient will always
perceive as being given--it is more
PERMANANT.
*8 You can wish anyone well; but a BLESSING
--like MAY GOD PLACE YOU LIKE EPHRAIM &
MENASHEH--is a more PERMANANT FIXED
structure
*9 The Me-On denotes either a LION-CAVE
or a DWELLING. The Me-O-Nah is a
more permanant form of this--it could
indicate the more PERMANANT LAIR of the
LION or it could indicate not just a
dwelling but a PERMANANT home
--------------- LONGER FOOTNOTES -------------
*10 Our actual Rashi text reads as follows
- A suffix HEY can be used to indicate
- the preposition TO. Thus MITZRAYIM
- means EGYPT while MITZRAYMAH means
- TO EGYPT
This question was raised to be by
a fellow actuary and baal koray in
Baltimore (Who wishes to remain
anonymous).
One obvious objection to the Rashi is
that it is inconsistent with the
meaning of the text.
But a more serious objection to Rashi
is that in every instance where the
above Rashi rule is used the
word is pronounced with accent on
the next to last syllable while in
Dt33-27d the accent is on the last
syllable.
This accent argument conclusively proves our
Rashi text incorrect. The above lists suggest
a reasonable alternative
