One of Rashis main tasks is to explain the meaning
of words. There are a variety of vehicles by which
words can acquire meaning.

In this posting we review 5 words for IDOLS. These
5 words illustrate many of the 8 basic methods of
naming objects.

A previous series on naming may be found at

Idols are called
- CARVED, by their FORM--they are CARVED
- DONT, by their FUNCTION -- they prohibit
- MOLTEN, the their SUBSTANCE--they are molten objects
- DISGUST, stating how Jews FEEL about them
- DUNG, a GOOD EXAMPLE of somethinjg disgusting.

We review 6 words meaning IDOL. The 6 words name
idols using 5 methods of naming objects (eg REPULSIVE,
names the idol by how you FEEL about it while DONT
names the idol by how idolaters perceive the function
of the gods---to NEGATE & PROHIBIT life activity)
