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
===========
It is exciting but we are finally completing this GRAMMAR
module. We will publish a grand summary showing 5 types of
GRAMMAR comments that Rashi provides insight on. In the
last few days we will cover about a dozen left over Rashis.

In the last two days of this grammar module we cover the
topic of extra letters & superfluous spellings.

REFERENCE:

THE GRAMMATICAL RULE OF EXTRA LETTERS


EXAMPLE 144: Lv07-16b on the next day #what is left over is burnt
EXAMPLE 145: Nu23-18b listen to me, #son of Tzippor
EXAMPLE 146: Ex16-06c Your Right Arm, God,is #Exalted in strength

BACKGROUND
----------
To understand how this LIST is constructed we use Gn36-24a
as an example. The verse Gn36-24 LITERALLY translates as
----------------------------------------------
These are the children of Tzivon AND Aya & Ana
----------------------------------------------

Notice how the CAPPED word, AND, appears totally out of
place and distorts the cohesiveness of the verse.

Rashi suggests as a remedy that we simply regard
this word, AND, as extra. Hence the sentence translates
---------------------------------------------------
These are the children of Tzivon: #Aya & Ana
---------------------------------------------------

The pound sign (#) indicates the place of the missing
word AND (Note how in Hebrew the word AND is represented
by a single letter)

A similar approach applies to the other verses

THE LIST
--------
The list below presents Rashis which comment on these
superfluous or extra letters. This list also includes
the examples from yesterdays list.
