VERSE: Lv19-10a
====================== Lv19-10a =======================
SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis 10 main goals is to explain grammar
the same way modern grammar texts do. Rashi had
a variety of issues to explain with grammar. In
todays issue we review how parts of speech can
interchange (e.g. a noun like flower can become
a verb, to flower).
EXAMPLE--To YOUNG THE VINEYARD (Lv19-10a)
-----------------------------------------
There are three ways a NOUN can become
a verb
- CREATE IT: eg TO FLOWER
- REMOVE IT: eg to DUST
- USE IT NORMALLY: eg to HAMMAR
Lv19-10a speaks about YOUNGING the vineyard.
This would mean REMOVING the young grapes
from the vineyard. Here the verb TO YOUNG
derives from the property (ADJECTIVE), young,
of the object/noun, grapes, that they are removing.
TO YOUNG means to REmOVE THE YOUNG grapes.
See LIST050d below for many other delightful examples
Here, Rashi shows how NOUNS can become VERBS

- TO DOUGH becomes TO SWELL (form of DOUGH rising)
