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 difference between the ADJECTIVAL and CONSTRUCT states

REFERENCE:
=========
Todays unit comes from the following postings

ADJECTIVE vs CONSTRUCT


EXAMPLE 84: Ex28-04b BIGDAY KODESH means TEMPLE CLOTHES
EXAMPLE 85: Lv16-04b BIGDAY KODESH means TEMPLE CLOTHES


BACKGROUND:
-----------
The same word can function either
-- as an ADJECTIVE, telling us PROPERTIES of the noun, or
-- as a  CONSTRUCT, telling us who the noun-object BELONGS to


THE RASHI
------------------
-- To indicate an ADJECTIVE: Use the NOUN-ADJECTIVE order
-- To indicate a  CONSTRUCT: Use the CONSTRUCT-NOUN order

-- To indicate an ADJECTIVE: Use the ADJECTIVE conjugation
-- To indicate a  CONSTRUCT: Use the CONSTRUCT conjugation

THE TEXT
--------
The verses below speak about:BIGDAY (Clothes of) KODESH(the Holy)
-- The CONSTRUCT conjugation is used: BIGDAY (Clothes of)
-- The CONSTRUCT-NOUN order is used: CLOTHES  of the HOLY

Hence we concluded that the phrase BIGDAY KODESH
-- does NOT mean HOLY CLOTHES (BeGaDiM KeDoShiM)
-- but RATHER means CLOTHES OF THE TEMPLE (BIGDAY KODESH)
That is, the word KODESH here functions as a noun (The temple)
indicating WHO the clothes belong to

REFERENCE
---------
Any standard Grammar book contains conjugation forms of the
Construct and Adjectival form. A good abridged source with
many forms is the Appendix to the Ibn Shoshan Dictionary
volume 5.

THE LIST
--------
The list below contains some sample phrases some of
which illustrate the CONSTRUCT-NOUN and NOUN-ADJECTIVE form
VERSE HEBREW PHRASE ENGLISH TRANSLATION Cons?Adj
Ex28-04b BIGDAY KODESH Clothes OF the Temple CONSTRUCT
Ex28-03 BIGDAY AHARON Clothes OF Aaron CONSTRUCT
Ex25-33 GeVIIM MSHUKADIM Buds THAT ARE Almond shaped Adjective
Ex26-16 ATzAY SHiTiM Trees OF Shitim wood CONSTRUCT
Ex26-16 SHiTiM OMeDiM Shitim wood THAT IS standing Adjective
