      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 Gn06-14c

      Brief Summary: KUPH-NUN-HEY means TREE SHOOTS. When referring to a ship it means CUBICLE CABINS

The FFF submethod states that words can be named by Form, Feel, and Function. Some examples of naming words by Form include (a) the leg of a chair, (b) the handle of a pot, (c) the branch of a family tree, (d) surfing the net or (e) brainstorming Some of these examples illustrate naming objects by form while other examples illustrate naming activities by form. The verse below is still another example.

Verse Gn06-14c discussing the construction of Noah's ark states Make thee an ark of lavawood; with cabin-cubicles shalt thou make the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. The Hebrew root Kuph-Nun-Hey refers to the shoot of a tree. From context the above verse is speaking about making rooms in the ark. Hence we translate cubicle cabins, long slender cabins that look like, or have the form of tree shoots.
