SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One  of Rashis 5 main goals is to give the meaning of words
the same way the dictionary gives meaning. Rashi had a variety
of vehicles to present meaning.

EXAMPLE 1:Gn37-07b-Stand up
---------------------------
The Hebrew K-M-H when referring to people indicates a person
standing. When referring to inanimate objects it refers to
it being placed in an UPRIGHT position. Here we use the
method of naming by FORM

EXAMPLE 2: Gn37-07a A-L-M a) Widow, b)Mute c) Bundle
----------------------------------------------------
Rav Hirsch explains with a unified meaning of CONSTRAINT
whether in the physical sphere (BUNDLE) the information
sphere (MUTE) or the social sphere (WIDOW) While this root
occurs frequently, the meaning of BUNDLE hardly ever occurs

EXAMPLE 3: Gn37-03a ELDER SON=youngest,wisest
---------------------------------------------
ELDER-SON is a two word idiom: Rashi gives 3 possible
meanings: a) Youngest son b) Wisest son c) Son resembles father

EXAMPLE 4: Gn37-36a SLAUGHTERER=a) of animals b)of people
---------------------------------------------------------
Rashi points out that SLAUGHTERER in the Bible can equally
refer to food and war. Cute but true.

EXAMPLE 5: Gn37-26b COVER BLOOD=Conceal a murder
------------------------------------------------
The idiom COVER-BLOOD is a double metonomy
Blood is ASSOCIATED with life and COVER is
associated with denial. Hence COVER-BLOOD=conceal-murder

EXAMPLE 6: Gn37-26a Root B-Tz-A=a)To Cut b) Money c) Complete
-------------------------------------------------------------
Compare the English slang A CUT which can refer to a CUT
DEAL (completed), Monetary apportionment (The CUT) or to
CUTTING and severing ties.
