==================== Dt07-13b =========================
SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis 6 main goals is to explain word
meanings the same way dictionaries explain word
meanings. In explaining the meaning of roots Rashi
very often used a one-letter and two-letter root
theory.
As I have explained numerous times Rashi DID believe
in the Grammatical theory of 3 letter roots as we
know them today. However Rashi held that this
was a theory of ROOT CONJUGATION.
Additionally Rashi believed in a totally different
approach to ROOT MEANING. ROOT MEANING is governed
by 2-letter roots.
EXAMPLE
-------
ASTR(Wealthy) = MAKES(AS) ROWS(TR) (of flocks)
Tz-R-A(Tzetze flies)=Pushes out (TZ) bad (poison)(RA)
Similar examples are provided in the lists below.

========================== LIST910b ===========================================
List of 4 Letter roots in Rashi and their meanings.
The meaning of the list should be clear (eg Gn49-12a
contains the word CChLiLi which means DRUNKEN. The
concept of DRUNKENNESS is clearly related to
SWIRLING (LL) from the PALATE (CCh) activities.
Other rows are interpreted similarly.)

===============================================================================
========================= LIST910c ====================
(Rashi Dt07-20a) In this list we show several 3 letter
roots whose meaning can be derived from a 1-letter
and 2-letter root. The letter Tzade in these roots
means to PUSH OUT. Thus Tz-R-A a poisonous fly
is a fly that PUSHES OUT (Tzade) EVIL (RA--ie poison)
=======================================================
3 Lttr Root Means Tz=push out Remainder of root
=========== ============= =========== =================
Tz-R-A Poisonous Fly pushes-out evil*1
Tz-V Bloated pushed-out inside
Tz-i-H HeatWave Pushes out
Tz-V-h To Command To push
Tz-D-K Righteous Pushes on Details
NOTES
-----
*1 We have two (distinct) meanings to this root
- Poisonous fly = Pushes out (Tz) evil(ie poison)
- Punishment for SLANDER = pushes out(Tz) evil (Talk)
