SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis 6 main goals is the explanation of meanings,
the same way the dictionary explains meaning. Rashi had
a variety of vehicles to explain meaning. Today we focus
on word pairs that belong to the same class but have some
subtle nuance differentiating them.

EXAMPLES
--------
1) Spill-ooze
2) Cut-sandpaper
3) Oven-stove
4) Pot-FryingPan
5) SnowWhite-CloudWhite
6) Top-Botton Grindstone
7) Vat-WashingTank

Here is the point--it is easy to explain BOTH oven and stove
as SOMETHING YOU COOK ON. The language you are using may
not even have words for different types of COOKING UTENSILS.
Rashis job is to give the finer nuances (OVEN vs STOVE).
Similarly SPILL and OOZE are examples of LIQUIDS going out.
Rashis job is to give nuances

COMMENTS
 
*1 This root occurs very infrequently We have
- Lv15-03a oozing (RR) of sexual secretions
- 1S21-14 (Spittle)
- Jb06-06(Oozing of plants or spittle)

*2 Thus YQTziA doesnt just refer to ANY CUTTING but
rather to SANDPAPERING. Hence this root can
also refer to CORNERS and EDGES
(which get their distinctness from being SANDPAPERED)

*3 I used an English analogy. Actually TNUR vs CIRaYIM
seem to refer to a ONE-burner vs a TWO-Burner
hot plate. I am not actually sure on all details*10

*4 Both of these are pots. One is shallow--the type
used for frying. The other is deep--the type
used for rich cooking*10

*5 These are two shades of white. I dont know if analogies
exist in English (CLOUD-WHITE or
SNOW-WHITE vs MARBLE WHITE)*10

*6 I dont believe English has technical terms for the TOP
vs the Bottom grindstone*10

*7 Again there are no English words. The Kaph-Vuv-Resh
refers to a VAT that can hold about 200 Gallons

By contrast the Kaph-Yud-Vuv-Resh refers to a hugh
TANK of water with faucet holes. This TANK was
used to wash hands and legs in the temple (The water
sprinkled out of the holes and washed the person)
LONGER FOOTNOTES
 

*10 I believe Rashis basic thrust in all these verses is
explaining items that are ALMOST similar in meaning
but have some subtle nuance (Like STOVE OVEN).

However Rashi goes further and gives etymologies of
some of these words eg
- SeAyTh = CLOUD WHITE (From NaSiH=cloud)
- MaChaVath= FRYING PAN (Has a rim that HIDES(Cheth-Bet)
- MaRCheSeth= Deep Cooking Pan(food BUBBLES (RaChSh))
- RCV=Top Grindstone that RIDES(RCV) on the other grindstone
There are more etymologies; some of these have been
discussed elsewhere. I believe these are the basic ones.
