SYNONYMS FOR river, Canal, pond
EXAMPLE 4: Ex07-19b NaHaR means RIVER EXAMPLE 5: Ex07-19c YeOR means CANAL(irrigates Vegie(OR) gardens) EXAMPLE 6: Ex07-19d (repeated) AGAM means MARSH (reeds(GoMa)grow BACKGROUND ---------- In Ex07-19b God is bringing the plague of blood on Egypt by which all Egyptian waters are converted to Blood. THE TEXT -------- God brings blood on RIVERS, CANALS, and PONDS THE RASHI --------- Rashi explains the specific nuances of these 3 words They mean RIVER, CANAL, & POND-MARSH THE LIST -------- We can accept these Rashis on tradition. However it is our custom to try and defend these Rashis on meaning. In particular we show how each of these synonyms follows reasonable etymologies. In the list below we argue that -- CANAL comes from the root Aleph-Resh--Vegtables, since CANALS are used to water Gardens -- POND comes from Gimel-Mem--REEDS, since REEDs typically grow in PONDS. Here is the LIST. The footnotes provide further details.
VERSE	HEBREW	ENGLISH	ETYMOLOGY
Ex07-19b	NaHaR	River
Ex07-19c	YeOR*1	Canal	ORVH*1 means VEGIES(Canals water gardens)
Ex07-19d	AGaM*2	MARSH	GooMaH means REEDS(Reeds grow in MARSHS)

COMMENTS
1 ORVH can mean Vegetables as in 2C32-28. Thus YEOR, CANAL is something used to IRRIGATE VEGETABLES GARDENS. Roots beginning with YUD frequently have the same meaning as the roots composed of their last two letters. http://www.RashiYomi.Com/h2n25.htm. Here are a few examples --------------------------------------------------------------- ROOT1 ROOT2 MEANING RDQs STATEMENT OF EQUAL MEANING ----- ----- ----------- ------------------------------- YAL ALH Curse/swear YAL and ALH have similar meaning YZM ZMM Plot The meanings of YZM ZMM are equal YTV TOV GOOD Two Roots with one meaning YAZ AZZ Brazen YAZ AZZ have the same meaning YAT ATH Enwrap YAT ATH have the same meaning YShM ShMM Destroyed YShM has a meaning of ShMMaH ---------------------------------------------------------------- 2 We explained this in yesterdays posting. A short recap is as follows - ALEPH means THING. AGaM is a THING(ALEPH) for REEDS(GooMAH) - SOF:GAM both mean to add; both mean REEDS, which suck and add water continuously, and both refer to MARSH-POND where Reeds Grow - We brought 4 Rashis on words meaning MARSH and showed from Rashis explicit statement Ex13-18b that Rashi perceived a Marsh as a place where REEDS grow.
