VERSE: Ex02-03d

RASHI RULE USED: Ex02-03d Ex13-18b

==================== REED SEA is named after REEDS ============

BACKGROUND
----------
This Rashi focuses on the meaning of words

THE TEXT
--------
The Bible in several places refers to THE REED

THE RASHI
---------
The REED refers to the MARSH since REEDS typically grow
in Marshs.

THE ENGLISH ANALOGY
-------------------
Note the happy fact that in this case English agrees with
Hebrew--in fact the RED sea is a spelling error--it really
should be the REED SEA,named because of its reeds.

THE LIST
--------
This is an example of something named by a unique property.
We give other examples--both from Rashi and from outside
Rashi--in the list below.

REFERENCE
---------
These examples comes from http://www.RashiYomi.com/naming-8.htm

VERSE    THE WORD MEANS...         HOW IT IS NAMED

Ex15-20c A TOF    (Drum/Cymbal)    an instrument you POUND(TF)
Ex16-16a The OMER is a big measure Something BUNDLED(OMR)
Ex16-36a The OMER is a big measure Something BUNDLED(OMR)

Ex13-18b The SOF  MARSH            Place of REED (SOF)
*4                REVOLVER         gun with a REVOLVING cylinder
*4                FLOPPY           a disk you can FLOP around*1
*4                A TIE            a garment worn by TIEING it
*4                The SWEATER*2    a garment that makes you sweat
*4                A LAPTOP*3       computer holdable in  your lap
*4                A ROCKER         a chair that rocks when sat on

NOTES
-----
*1 Unlike a hard drive which cannot be flopped around

*2 There is an element of exaggeration here since
   sweaters only have the potential to make you sweat
   if worn in warm weather.

*3 In contrast to typical towers which cannot be held in
   your lap

*4 These examples are from English and not from the Bible.
   Note that in all of them the CLASS of the object is not
   indicated in the etymology: e.g. A REVOLVER is a GUN
   with a REVOLVING CYLINDER (vs a machine gun)--the name
   does not explain the REVOVLER is a GUN--but it does
   explain why this particular type of gun was selected
