SUCCINCT SUMMARY ---------------- One of Rashis 6 main goals is to explain word meanings the same way dictionaries explain word meanings. In explaining the meaning of roots Rashi very often used a one-letter and two-letter root theory. As I have explained numerous times Rashi DID believe in the Grammatical theory of 3 letter roots as we know them today. However Rashi held that this was a theory of ROOT CONJUGATION. Additionally Rashi believed in a totally different approach to ROOT MEANING. ROOT MEANING is governed by 2-letter roots. EXAMPLE ------- ASTR(Wealthy) = MAKES(AS) ROWS(TR) (of flocks) Tz-R-A(Tzetze flies)=Pushes out (TZ) bad (poison)(RA) Similar examples are provided in the lists below. | ||

(Rashi Dt07-20a) In this list we show several 3 letter roots whose meaning can be derived from a 1-letter and 2-letter root. The letter Tzade in these roots means to PUSH OUT. Thus Tz-R-A a poisonous fly is a fly that PUSHES OUT (Tzade) EVIL (RA--ie poison) | ||||
| 3 Lttr Root | Means | Tz=push out | Remainder of root | |
| Tz-R-A | Poisonous Fly | pushes-out | evil*1 | |
| Tz-V | Bloated | pushed-out | inside | |
| Tz-i-H | HeatWave | Pushes out | ||
| Tz-V-h | To Command | To push | ||
| Tz-D-K | Righteous | Pushes on | Details | |
|

*1 We have two (distinct) meanings to this root - Poisonous fly = Pushes out (Tz) evil(ie poison) - Punishment for SLANDER = pushes out(Tz) evil (Talk) | ||||
