way a dictionary explains meaning. Rashi had a variety
of vehicles to explain meaning

the vessels used for THROWING and COLLECTING

*1 Rashi supplements this explanation by
citing verses where RKA means to
FLATTEN OUT(eg Isa42-05,P136-07,
2S22-43, Ez06-11,Ex39-03, Nu17-04,
Jr10-09--in all these verses RKA
means to flatten out/crush)
*2 Perhaps the punchiest example is the following
- PENTAGON - named by form
- U.N. ----- named by function
*3 - STATURE is an attribute of HUMANS
- HEIGHT is an attribute of OBJECTS

*7 As we have explained it TO DOUGH would mean
to BAKE. Actually we need another step. A verb
can refer to its ACTIVITY FORM. So the 2 steps are
- DOUGH becomes TO DOUGH=to BAKE
- TO DOUGH becomes TO SWELL (form of DOUGH rising)
See LIST814a for more details
*8 Ex05-07a Ex05-07b
------------------- LONGER FOOTNOTES --------------------
*10
We present 3 methods by which OBJECTS (Nouns) acquire
ACTIVITY (verb) meaning
- eg To RECORD = to CREATE a RECORD
- eg To DUST = to REMOVE dust
- eg To HAMMER = do STANDARD ACTIVITY of hammar
