VERSE: Dt10-21a

======== HOW RASHI TREATS THE INFINITIVE ========================

SUMMARY
-------
Rashi here makes a comment on GRAMMAR.

It is well known that a word like TCHON has the FORM of the
INFINITIVE.

Rashi introduces the idea that the INFINITIVE FORM can mean
---EITHER the abstract STATE of an activity OR
---BEING INVOLVED IN DOING THE ACTIVITY CONTINUOUSLY

In English we signify these two meanings as follows
---e.g. TO RUN is healthy (TO RUN is the Infinitive)
---e.g. RUNNING, SWIMMING, WRITING (that is the ING ending
   signifies AN ONGOING INVOLVMENT IN AN ACTIVITY)

Here is the LIST with the NEW ENTRY. This LIST comes from
previous postings on the Rashi Website *1 *2
