VERSE: Ex31-03a

RASHIS COVERED: Ex31-03a Ex31-03b Ex31-03c

======================== Ex31-03a ========================

VERY BRIEF SUMMARY
------------------
One of Rashis 6 main goals is to explain word meanings
the same way a dictionary does. There are a variety
of vehicles by which Rashi explains word meanings.

One particular vehicle is the clarification of synonym
nuances. Three words might have almost the same meaning--
but Rashi shows the particular nuances of each one.

EXAMPLE
-------
- Caph-Chet-Mem means KNOWLEDGE (Gathered information)
- Beth-Yud-Nun means ANALYSiS (Inference of new items)
- Yud-Daleth-AYin means INTUITION(Familiarity with things)

======================================================

=================== LIST950a =========================

We present 3 words meaning SMART
- C-X-M means KNOWLEDGEABLE
- N-V-N means ANALYTIC
- Y-D-A means INTUITIVE
======================================================
ROOT           MEANS          ACQUIRES KNOWLEDGE VIA..
============== ============== ========================
Chet Caph Mem  Knowledgeable  Transmission
Beth-Yud-Nun   Analytic       Inference*1
Dalet-Ayin-Tv  Intuitive      Familiarity

NOTES
-----
*1 We do not have a separate list on NBN. Rather
   we infer its meaning from its root Beth-Yud-Nun
   which means INBETWEEN. The process of analysis
   is to identify MEDIATING VARIABLES THAT CONNECT
   and LIE BETWEEN DATA AND INFERENCES
======================================================

================ LIST950b ============================

We have frequently explained that Rashi believed
that conjugation of verbs was 3 letter in nature
while meaning is 2 letter in nature. The meaning
of every 3 letter root can be derived by breaking
up the root into a two letter and one letter root
(The conjugation is then 3 letter in nature)

Here is a simple example:
- Ceth-Caph means PALATE
- MEM means HOW MUCH
-
- Hence Ceth-Caph-Mem means HOW PALATABLE
and refers to a punchy aphorism (WIsdom!!!)

Here is the list *1
======================================================
ROOT           MEANS             MEM means 2 LETTERS
============== ================= ========= ===========
Ceth Caph Mem  Wisdom Aphorism   How       Palatable
Mem Aleph Hey  100               How many  people*2
Mem Gimel Dalt Sumptuous         How       sweet
Mem Resh Aleph Plump             How much  to see
Mem Resh Tzade Proper/deserved   How       acceptable

NOTES
-----
*1 The letter MEM has other meanings such as
   - SOURCE/FROM
   - PLACE
   We are only giving a snapshot of one meaning

*2 The letter ALEPH means THINGS or PEOPLE
======================================================

================== LIST950c =========================================

The root Yud-Dalet-Ayin is normally translated
as KNOW. Actually however it means FAMILIARITY
or APPRECIATION. Thus a relative is called a FAMILIAR
Similarly marital relations is called BEING FAMILIAR

In Ex31-03 Yud-Dalet-Ayin means INTUITION which
fundamentally refers to FAMILIARITY with a situation
that allows you to have a gut feelings on certain
matters.
