VERSE: Ex30-08a

RASHIS COVERED: Ex30-08a Ex28-33b

========================== Ex30-08a =============================

SUCCINCT SUMMARY:
-----------------
The WORD MEANING method seeks to present dictionary meaning.
Rashi uses 10 vehicles to infer word meaning. Rashi could very
simply indicate how words are named by their FORM or FUNCTION.
For example, the PENTAGON and U.N. are both protective agencies.
But the PENTAGON is named by its FORM, what it looks like, while
the U.N. is named by its PURPOSE and GOAL, to unite nations.

EXAMPLE Ex30-08a
----------------
The Biblical text speaks about RAISING A FLAME
Rashi explains that RAISING a flame means LIGHTING a flame.

Here the word for IGNITION is named by the FORM of the activity---
the lit flame tends to RISE. Hence RISE is a word for IGNITION.

EXAMPLE Ex28-33b
----------------
The word Pay-Ayin-Mem mea HAMMAR. However Pay-Ayin-Mem can
also mean the following items whose ACTIVITY FORM resembles
hammaring
- footstepping
- Ding-Dong-Bell

FORM of their ACTIVITY
