SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis primary goals is the explanation of meaning
the same way a dictionary explains meaning. One powerful
vehicle of explaining meaning is to use METONOMY--that is,
the meaning of one concept is explained by a related concept.

Today we explore a cluster of words related to the concept
of BORDER. We see how the various ATTRIBUTES of BORDER are
named using RELATED concepts.

EXAMPLE
-------
- 2 Rashis explain that the Hebrew G-V-L means BORDER

- 2 Rashis explain that BORDER can refer to SPECIAL BORDERS
(Such as the HEM - the BORDER of CLOTHES)

- 2 Rashis are grammatical: TO BORDER means TO CREATE a border;
The BORDER OF NORTH means the NORTHERN BORDER

- Several Rashis explain BORDER ATTRIBUTES using poetic metaphor
of related meanings

-- A DESCENDING border = from NORTH to SOUTH
-- The ROLLING border = the JAGGED border
-- The border GOING OUT = a JUTTING border
-- the END border or OUSTED border = the border END

COMMENTS
*1 The Biblical text is literally BORDER OF NORTH.
Rashi brilliantly points out that this does not mean
the BORDER of the NORTH but rather the NORTHERN BORDER

*2 E.g. If most of border is SQUARE LIKE but one segment
juts out (like LONG ISLAND vs NEW YORK or the TIP OF
FLORIDA) then we call that a GOING OUT OF BORDER
