*1 Rav Hirsch suggests the following approach
- BUNDLE=constrain PHYSICALLY
- MUTE = constrain INFORMATIONALLY
- WIDOW= constrained SOCIALLY
- HOWEVER=constrained in the sentence (An exception)
- SOMBODY/PLACE=constrained in NAME

*10 There is another subtle point here. You BUNDLE BUNDLES
Here the activity BUNDLE -to make a bundle, is derived
from the noun BUNDLE. This is similar to BUILD a BUILDING
but dissimilar to SCREW a SCREW. In general there are
3 ways for nouns to become verbs.See LIST050d at
http://www.Rashiyomi.com/h18n17.htm

However Rashi here was not specifically commenting
on the verb-noun transformation. Rather Rashi was
commenting on the rare meaning of the root Aleph-Lamed-Mem

Statistically the root Aleph-Lamed-Mem is not a rare
root. However one of its 5 meanings only occurs twice.
Hence it is proper to perceive Rashi as commenting
on the rarity!

*11 All meanings and examples are courtesy of Radack,
Book of Biblical roots. Radack also gives a 6th meaning--
THE PORCH or ANTECHAMBER. However my personal opinion
is that the root of Aleph-Vuv-Lamed-Mem is Aleph-Lamed-Hey
-the oak tree. The porch or antechamber would be a
shaded room surrounded by trees.

*1 Rashi points out 3 equally possible meanings
- Youngest son (Son born while father  was ELDERLY)
- Wisest son (ELDER=WISDOM)
- Son who resembles father (despite old age he still
looks like son)

*2 This is an example of a DOUBLE METONOMY
Blood is ASSOCIATED with life and COVER is
associated with denial. Hence COVER-BLOOD=conceal-murder

*1 Many examples in this list come from previous
list in the metonomy series (LIST871a,
LIST871b, LIST871c)

*1 The original meaning of the word Q-W-M is to
AWAKE. From this it means STAND UP. When applied
to inanimate objects it refers to a vertical standing

*2 Demons in dreams often appear with HORNS Hence
it is reasonable to call them GOATS

*3 This root seems to be very controversial.
For example some people (Radack cites them) suggest
that the root is Zayin-Nun (WEAPON) with an added
prefix of Aleph.

Hence Rav Hirsch suggests that the etymology is
PERSONAL (ALEPH) WEAPONS.

I would simply say that the UTENSIL BELT with
hanging cases on both sides looks like 2 ears
on a head. Thus the meaning is based on FORM.*10



*4 The verse literally is translated as follows
----------------------------------------------
So they (The Kehatites) shall not come
and look as the holy (objects) are being packed
-----------------------------------------------

For possible further examples see footnote *11

*5 cf these verses showing that LOZ means TWISTED
or DEVIANT Pr03-21, Pr03-33,Pr02-15. (Rashi
cites the French name of these trees)

*10 To be fair Rashi explains TWO words in this verse
- The Hebrew Aleph-Zayin-Nun means WEAPON
- The Hebrew AL which usually means ON can also
mean BESIDES.

For the 6 meanings of AL see
http://www.RashiYomi.com/al-5.htm

*11 Radack in his book, Biblical roots, lists 3 meanings
-------------------------------------------------
a) SWALLOW as in Jr51-34--He SWALLOWED me like a
Crockodile

b) DESTROY as in La02-02 - God has DESTROYED, without
mercy

c) HIDE/PACK as in Nu04-20
-------------------------------------------------

It is debatable whether there are other verses
illustrating this meaning of HIDE. Radack suggests
Jb27-30 and Jb10-08. I would say Is19-03---
------------------------------
God will HIDE (conceal) their advice
------------------------------
the metaphor of HIDING ADVICE is similar to the tone
at 2S15-31.

Suffice it to say that there is much controversy
on all the proper meaning of all these verses. However
our translation of Nu04-20 seems to be standard
