VERSE: Lv08-15a

================================ Lv08-15a ===========================

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashi's 10 main goals is to explain Grammar
the same way Hebrew textbooks explain Grammar.
One grammar method that overlaps with word
meaning is the NOUN-VERB-ADJ-TRANSFORMS method.
This method studies how words can change from
OBJECTS (noun) to ACTIVITIES (verbs) to ATTRIBUTES
(adjective).

EXAMPLE 1: To MAKE FORMAL
-------------------------
Rashi uncovered three ways for nouns
to become verbs--
(a) to REMOVE the noun
(e.g. to DUST)

(b) to CREATE the noun
(e.g. to FLOWER)

(c) to USE the noun in the
traditional manner it is used
(e.g. to HAMMER)

The Hebrew word Cheth-Teth-Aleph means
to be SLOPPY, to MISS the mark (as in archers
missing the mark).Hence it refers to sin thru
negligence. The verb form TO SLOPPIIZE would
mean TO REMOVE SLOPPINESS...to MAKE FORMAL.
just as TO DUST means to REMOVE THE DUST.

LIST050d studies other words whose meaning
changes due to shift in grammatical function

NOTES
-----
*1 eg To FIRE a furnace

*2 Ex16-20b

*3 Ex19-12a

*4 Ex28-39a EMBROIDER the pants of LINEN
   means make them embroidered

*5 Nu04-13b

*6 Lv17-04a

*7 As we have explained it TO DOUGH would mean
   to BAKE. Actually we need another step. A verb
   can refer to its ACTIVITY FORM. So the 2 steps are
   - DOUGH becomes TO DOUGH=to BAKE
   - TO DOUGH becomes TO SWELL (form of DOUGH rising)
   See LIST814a for more details

*8 Ex29-05a

*9 Lv19-10a

------------------------ LONGER FOOTNOTES -----------------

*10 Abstract State

*11 Nu31-03b

*13 Gn13-12a

*14 Rashi (Gn33-14d Gn33-14e) analyzes the word FOOTPACE
    as follows
    - FEET describe objects (NOUNS)
    - WALKING is the STANDARD ACTIVITY of the FEET(Verb)
    - PACE is the SPEED of walking(Adverbial
    description of HOW FAST the walk is taking place).

Note: PACE itself is a noun but it functions
adverbially as describing how fast the walk is.

*15 Technically
    - The Hebrew root Aleph-Resh-Ceth means PATH
    - PATH is an OBJECT (Noun)
    - When made into an ATTRIBUTE (Adjective)
    - Aleph-Resh-Ceth means PATH-PEOPLE--a CARAVAN

*16 Gn50-23a

*17 Gn49-24c

*18 Ex09-31c

*19 Ex28-31b. The verse
    ---------------------------
    Make the coat ALL-ALL blue
    ---------------------------
    means

    -------------------------------
    make it EXCLUSIVELY/WHOLLY BLUE
    -------------------------------

*20 Ex30-07a

*21 Lv08-15a (Note that the verb TO SLOPPIIZE is parallel
    to the verb TO SANCTIFY. Both have a connotation
    of a FORMAL atmosphere).
