GOALS:
------
I decided its time for a longer unit.

This unit will focus on a major Rashi task--explaining
the MEANINGS OF WORDS.

Explaining the MEANINGS of WORDS is more than looking
something up in a dictionary. There are METHODS to
explaining WORDS.

Thus in this module we will explore HOW Rashi determines
the meanings of words -- that is, we will explore WHAT
RASHIS METHODS ARE



TODAYS UNIT
-----------
For the next few days we will explore HOW objects
can be named by a distinguishing property.


REFERENCE:
----------
This module comes from the following reference  in the
Rashi-is-Simple series. Many further cross references
are presented on that page.

BACKGROUND
----------
Recall we are studying how Rashi analyzes the objects
that are named by a PROPERTY vs by WHAT THEY ARE. Thus e.g.

(*)  BLUE is not anything blue but rather
      a THREAD died BLUE (Ex25-04a)
(*)  RED is not anything RED but rather a
      THREAD died RED (Ex25-04b)
(*) SEDUCE doesnt refer to any type of seductive activity but
    rather refers to an attractive dress worn by women (Gn49-11d)

Let us now look at more examples


THE VERSE and RASHIS
--------------------

EXAMPLES
--------
EXAMPLE 40: Lv13-55 PChTheTh (Wound) comes from PChTh= Pit
            So PChTheTh = a Deep Wound


EXAMPLE 41: Lv13-11 ShChiN = BOIL (Shacath = deep pit/wound)
             (An inflammation not caused by heat)
             Since SHACATH also means PIT we could take SHCHIN
             to refer to a DEEP WOUND. Alternatively since
             SHACATH denotes something destroyed we could take
             SHCHIN to refer to wounded charred skin (that looks
             like a ragged pit -- it is deep and gaping)
