SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
Rashi frequently explains meaning by providing
a UNIFIED MEANING or UNDERLYING THEME to disparate
meanings of one root
EXAMPLE Kuph Nun Hey
--------------------
The Biblical root Kuph-Nun-Hey means
- TO STAND FIRM ON ONES RIGHTS
- NOT TO OVERLOOK ONES RIGHTS
- TO BE POSSESSIVE
This theme unifies such disparate meanings as REVENGE
and BEING FIRM. See the list below for examples
EXAMPLE Shin Resh
-----------------
The root Shin-Vuv-Resh is normally translated as
TO SEE. But closer analysis shows it means
- LONG RANGE SCANNING/ OVERVIEWING/ BIRDS EYE VIEW
Hence it can also refer to POETIC VISIONS or
FANTASIES.

VEDRSE HOW ROOT kuph-nun-hey IS USED
======== ================================================
Nu05-14b Husband doesNT OVERLOOK wifes seclusion with men
Nu11-29b Joshua doesNT OVERLOOK Moses honor*2 *10
------ ---------------------------------------------
Dt29-19b God will punish, NOT OVERLOOK, idolatry sins*10
Dt32-16a They sinned and CAUSED ME to NOT OVERLOOK sins*1
Dt32-21a They sinned and CAUSED ME to NOT OVERLOOK sins*1
Ex20-05a God STANDS FIRM on His Honor (no idolatry)
Ex34-14a God STANDS FIRM on his Honor (no idolatry)
Nu25-11b Pinchas killed idolater-stood FIRM on Gods honor
Dt04-24a God AFFIRMS HIS HONOR--does not overlook sins
NOTES
-----
*1 Kuph-Nun-Hey occurs here in the causative mode---the
Jews CAUSED GOD TO BE POSSESSIVE
*2 So Moses response to Joshua is understood as follows:
-----------------------------------------
These people say (prophetically) that I will
die.
You should therefore leave them alone as
my honor is enhanced by encouraging prophecy
(even if it is bad for me)
------------------------------------------
--------------------- LONGER FOOTNOTES -----------------
*10 The actual texts of Rashi are interesting.
Rashi states different definitions in different
Rashis. One has to literally read all 8 Rashis/Verses
to get a comprehensive view that Kuph-Nun-Hey
means EITHER
- to stand firm on ones rights
- to not overlook ones rights
- to be possessive
See http://www.Rashiyomi.com/nu05-14b.htm for
a fuller discussion.
After reading the above verses one sees that
Kuph-Nun-Hey can refer to violent affirmation
of rights (REVENGE) but need not necessarily do so
==========================================================
====================== LISt862d ======================
List of verses from root SHIN-VUV-RESH*10
The unifying theme is one of
- SCANNING
- obtaining a BIRDS EYE VIEW
Below we show in each case how each particular
root relates to this general theme.
================================================================
ROOT MEANING RELATION TO SCANNING VERSE
============= ========= =============================== ========
Shin Vuv Resh SCANNING Birds eye-viewing*1 Nu24-17
Shin Vuv resh SONG/POEM A vision/scan of the future*2 Ex15-01
Shin Vuv Resh WALL Place of SCANNING for enemy*3 Gn49-22
Shin Vuv Resh Ox*4 You SCAN the field with the ox Lv17-03
Shin Res Resh Fantasy Long term visions/desires*5 *10 Dt29-18c
NOTES
-----
*1 e.g Nu24-17(Bilam gives BIRDS EYEVIEW of Jews future
Songs04-08 (The lover SCANS from the hilltop)*10
*2 E.g. Ex15-01 the SONG of Moses and Israel*10 or
Ju05-01 The SONG of Deborah
Here we translate SONG as VISION
*3 Radack says the proper translation is FORTRESS WALL
Some examples are
Gn49-06 Simon and Levi destroyed the FORTRESS WALL of Schem
Gn49-22 Girls SCAN the wall to look at Josephs beauty
*4 Technically speaking the OX does not SCAN
Rather the ox PLOUGHS the field and
PLOUGHING has the same FORM as SCANNING
(Just one is done with vision and one with
a plow).
Thus this example--OX-PLOUGH-SCAN
--would belong with our list of items named
by their FORM (Other examples of naming by
the FORM OF AN ACTIVITY are
brainSTORMING, SURFing the net etc)
See LIST814a for further examples of NAMING BY FORM
*5 We can see here the unifying aspect. Any of the
following translations would seem to fit
- I will go according to the FANTASIES of my heart
- I will go according to my POETIC VISION
- I will go according to my BIRDS EYEVIEW of my FUTURE
--------------------- LONGER FOOTNOTES --------------
*10 We have followed RADACK, BOOK OF ROOTS in
identifying the roots of these words. Radack
himself notes that the proper classification
of the SHIN-RESH-RESH verb may be SHIN-VUV-RESH
======================================================
================== LIST814a ==================================
Words named by FORM OF ACTIVITY. For example, a STORM refers
to ALOT of drops. By analogy a BRAINSTORM refers to a ALOT
of thoughts
==============================================================
WORD MEANS FROM MEANING
============ ========================= ====== ================
BrainSTORM ALOT of Thought droplets STORM ALOT of drops
SURF The web BUMPY lookups SURF BUMPY journey
LOUD Dress ALOT of noticability LOUD ALOT of noise
DOUGHED leg SWOLLEN leg DOUGH TO RAISE DOUGH*1
FLY Flying thru air Fly The housefly*1
OX(SR) Animal that PLOUGHS field SCAN SCAN=PLOUGH*2
NOTES
-----
*1 There are two steps here
- DOUGH (the object) refers to DOUGH RISING (Verb)
- DOUGH RISING refers to ANY SWELLING
Similarly
- FLY (Housefly) refers to FLIGHT OF HOUSEFLY(Verb)
- HOUSEFLY FLIGHT refers to ANY TYPE OF FLYING
In each case the original narrow meaning (housefly flight,
rising dough) refers to the general activity form.
See LIST050d for further details.
*2 That is the visual form of SCANNING is identical to
the physical form of PLOUGHING(See LIST862d for
more information on the root Shin-Vuv-Resh)
