 GOALS
=====
This module studies the meaning of the Hebrew root N-P-Sh.
Its fundamental meaning is EXPANSIVENESS. From this
fundamental meaning we obtain 6 meanings in 2 broad categories

 THE SIX MEANINGS
 ----------------
 EXPANSIVENESS is indicative of DESIRE. Hence N-Pa-Sh can mean
 * DESIRE
 * INTEREST (either LOSS of INTEREST, or RENEWED INTEREST)
 * The GENERAL CAPACITY FOR ADAPTIVITY & LIFE(i.e. the SOUL)

 Furthermore from this last meaning (ADAPTIVITY,LIFE,SOUL) we
 see that N-Pa-Sh can mean
 * LIVING BEINGS vs property (like SOULS in English)
 * A SOUL-HIT (N-P-Sh HIT) would denote a LETHAL BLOW
 * SOUL-FLESH would refer to a LIVE-ORGAN

This module is an excellent example of the Rashi Rule of UNIFED
MEANING since there are close to 2 dozen Rashis on this
enigmatic word.

TODAYS UNIT
===========
In todays unit we study the meaning of an idiomatic phrase.
The phrase SOUL-FLESH (or FLESH WITH SOUL) refers to a LIVE
ORGAN

REFERENCE:

root has an abstract meaning which can assume further nuances
according to the CONJUGATION of the root.

THE TEXT
--------
There are 2 dozen Rashis commenting on the meaning of the
3 letter root N-P-Sh.

THE RASHI
---------
The root N-P-Sh has a variety of meanings. Today we explore
an idiomatic phrase. The word N-P-Sh (SOUL) when combined
with the word FLESH (SOUL-FLESH) refers to a LIVE ORGAN

Each day we will present one of the six meanings. We will
present the unifying meaning at the end.
