    2. RASHI METHOD: WORD MEANING
    BRIEF EXPLANATION: The meaning of words can be explained either by
    • (2a) translating an idiom, a group of words whose collective meaning transcends the meaning of its individual component words,
    • (2b) explaining the nuances and commonality of synonyms-homographs,
    • (2c) describing the usages of connective words like also,because,if-then, when,
    • (2d) indicating how grammatical conjugation can change word meaning
    • (2e) changing word meaning using the figures of speech common to all languages such as irony and oxymorons.
    This examples applies to Rashis Lv25-04b

    Brief Summary: TO VINE means to REMOVE / PRUNE vines; TO DUST means to REMOVE dust.

    Today we explore how conjugations can transform the word meanings of common nouns into verbs. This happens in three ways:
    • The verb can indicate the production / creation of the noun
    • The verb can indicate the removal of the noun
    • The verb can indicate the typical activity done with the noun.
    The following examples illustrate the above 3 paradigms:
    • to vine, means to remove / prune vines [Rashi: Lv25-04b];
    • to dust, means to remove dust;
    • -------------------------------------------------
    • to flower, means to produce new flowers;
    • -------------------------------------------------
    • to hammer, refers to the typical activity done with a hammer;
    • to insectify, swarming and producing many children [Rashi: Ex01-07a]
    • to fish-ify, producing a school of many children. [Rashi: Gn48-16c]
