================ THE 8 METHODS OF NAMING ITEMS ==================
In a recent posting http://www.RashiYOMi.Com/naming-8.htm
I developed 8 methods of naming objects. A simple example
might be the following:
---------------------------------------------------------
The PENTAGON is named by its FORM--what it looks like;
while the UNITED NATIONS, is named by its FUNCTION.
---------------------------------------------------------
Here is the main list in this posting.
Objects can be named by any of 8 methods. The following posting
deals with how parts of the Temple candellabrah were named.
However we indicate general methods for naming objects. In the
following list methods of naming objects are given with examples
=================================================================
(#) METHOD EXAMPLE
=== ================= ===========================================
(1) SUBSTANCE The Plaster, the Linoleum
(2) FORM Pentagon
(3) ACTIVITY FORM SURFing the web
(4) FUNCTION The United nations goal is to UNITE
(5) UNIQUE ATTRIBUTES An OVERCOAT is worn OVER other cloths
(6) FEEL How the act FEELS(eg HARDship).
(7) EXAGGERATION SkyScraper scrapes the sky
(8) GOOD EXAMPLE HONEY can mean anything SWEET
=================================================================
============= ITEMS NAMED BY FORM ===============================
The list below gives objects named by their form. In this
list we include some new Rashis showing JEWELRY NAME BY
FORM.(The EARING is named in English by WHERE you wear
it (on the ear); in Hebrew it is named by what it looks
like (ROUND)). Here is the rest of this LIST
-The following Candellabrah parts were named by
their FORM--what they looked like.
-Other Rashis (besides from the candellabrah) on naming
by FORM are added to this list*8
-Rashis on naming by ACTIVITY FORM are added to this
list (e.g. SURFING THE WEB)
Other example of objects named by FORM are presented
in the footnotes*1

during USAGE. Thus a REVOLVER is a gun that uses REVOLVING.
We add 2 new elements
--the STEP-RING---worn on the foot(it rung when you stepped)

Here is the rest of the posting. The examples follow below
The following are words named by UNIQUE PROPERTIES they have;
things done while USING them (e.g. a REVOLVER is that gun
that REVOLVES (vs a handgun or machine gun); similarly a
SUNSET is that POSITION Of the sun that occurs when the
SUN SETS The following Rashis illustrate this idea.
