Eczema boils hemmoroids etc. This revu will be completed
tomorrow
WORD TRANSLATION ROOT MEANING ROOT-TRANSLATION

Garav*3 psoraisis*3 drag*3 itching*3
COMMENTS
*2 Rashi (Ex09-09b) explains the Biblical phrase
   BOILS THAT SPROUT BUBBLES to refer to pussy boils
   Hence the Talmuds inference that Egyptian boils were
   dry and itching inside the skin but pussy outside.

   The root Beth-Ayin-Hey seems to mean a BUBBLE LIKE
   APPEARANCE and can refer to
   -----------------------------------------------
   Isa64-01 Fire BUBBLING (STEAMING) Water
   Isa30-13 A MULTI-CRACKED high wall
   Ovad1-04 Its treasured places are MULTI-CRACKED
   -----------------------------------------------
   The bubbles and cracks have a BUBBLE LIKE appearance
   This would also be a fitting description of BOILS.

   Hence by using this OTHER VERSE we are justified in
   explaining other verses with EGYPTIAN BOILS as meaning
   PUSSY BOILS. See the Rashi on Dt28-27a

   THe idea of naming items by their APPEARANCE occurs
   in all languages. Consider the English metaphors
   ------------------------
   brainSTORMING of ideas
   SURFING       the web
   ------------------------

   Other examples may be found at
   http://www.RashiYomi.com/naming-8.htm

*3 We can approach this using two techniques
   -- OTHER VERSES
   -- COMMON ROOT MEANINGS

   First we look at OTHER VERSES
   We already showed that the CONTEXT of Dt28-27 refers to
   -------------------------------------------------------
   EGYPTIAN BOILS, hemmoroids and GARAV that are incurable
   -------------------------------------------------------

   Thus the VERSE shows that GARAV means boils
   (Dt28-27a)

   A more advanced analysis can be obtained using
   Rashis 2 letter theory as modified by me where
   the 3rd letter also has a meaning

   The root of GARAV is DRAGGING (GRR) INSIDE (BI) and
   would refer to a PSORAISIS like condition where
   there was constant itching and an urge to SCRATCH
   (SCRATCH = A DRAGGING MOTION). Other terms for
   PSORAISIS also focus on scratching.

   To analyze this root GRAV we show that GARAR does
   mean to DRAG. Here are some verses
   ----------------------------------------------
   1Kings7-9  Dragged(Cut) by Saws
   Jer30-22   a Dragging storm(Tornado)
   Lv11-07    the throat that DRAGS the food down
   -----------------------------------------------

   well as analysis of Talmudic statements.
