GOALS ===== This module studies Rashis treatment of classical grammar. In other words how did Rashi treat the rules you find in modern LEARN-HEBREW textbooks TODAYS UNIT =========== In todays unit we switch gears. Prior to this unit we have been focusing on the grammatical conjugation of verbs. We now move on to other grammatical areas. Today we review the construct state. REFERENCE: ========= Todays unit comes from the following postings http://www.RashiYomi.Com/gn24-02a.htm |

EXAMPLE 74: Dt04-41c At the EAST OF THE SUN (Place of sunrise) EXAMPLE 75: Dt32-13h oil oozed from the STRENGTH OF THE ROCK EXAMPLE 76: Dt32-14f the MILK OF SHEEP BACKGROUND ----------- Recall that every noun can acquire an adjective by use of the construct state. For example: BALL is a noun while THE BALL OF JOHN refers to Johns ball (OF JOHN modifies the ball and tells you WHOS ball it was) THE TEXT AND RASHI ------------------ The difference between the SPELLING of a NOUN and its construct state is usually very minor. For example the noun MILK is spelled CHOLOV in Hebrew with two KAMATZ while its construct state is spelled CHALAYV with a CHATAF PATACH AND TZARAY. REFERENCE: ---------- A partial list of NOUNS and their CONSTRUCT states may be found in the IBN SHOSHAN Dictionary volume 5 in the appendix. However all the forms reported by Rashi in todays posting do not appear there since they are rare forms (Rashi, as we have seen traditionally reports rare forms). THE LIST -------- The list below presents 3 Rashis whose sole purpose is to distinguish between nouns and their construct states. To facilitate understanding we have added verses with the noun form and construct form so the reader can contrast them. | |||||
