========================= Nu34-07c ==================================
SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis 5 main goals is to give the meaning of words
the same way the dictionary gives meaning. Rashi had a variety
of vehicles to present meaning.Rashi frequently showed a
unifying theme to disparate meanings of a single root
EXAMPLE 1 Nu34-07c Tauv-Aleph-Hey = BORDER/attic
------------------------------------------------
...because The ATTIC is a room on the house BORDER
EXAMPLE 2 Nu33-55b Nu33-55d Sin-Caph/Tzade-Nun THORN-Biting-Thicket
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The Hebrew words for THORN (Sin Caph or Tzade Nun Nun) also can mean
- BITING cold (i.e. THORNY cold)
- PROTECTIVE THICKET (Thorn bushes protect gardens from animals)
- SHIELDS
- KNIVES (same function as thorns)
- DINKY (Same saucer form as thorn THICKETS)
EXAMPLE 3 Nu33-55d Tzade Resh Resd means to BUNDLE
--------------------------------------------------
Hence it can refer to a
- CLOD of earth
- a Co-wife (Two women bundled together)
- encampment by an enemy (They bundle people into city)

---one is named by FORM(PENTAGON) while
---the other is named by FUNCTION (UN).
-Similarly a SPARKLING STONE (KaDaChath) can equally refer to
-- SPARKS(by APPEARANCE)

-Hence a word meaning saucer like THORN THICKET could refer to
-- KNIVES (named by FUNCTION...to cut),
-- PROTECTIVE SHIELDS (Named by thorn FUNCTION) or
-- DINKY BOATS (Named by FORM...DINKYS were SAUCER LIKE boats)

List of verses with root TAUV-ALEPH-HEY = BORDER/BORDER ROOM
==============================================================
VERSE Text of verse with Hebrew TAU-ALEPH-HEY=BORDER/ATTIC
======== =====================================================
Nu34-07c From the western sea the BORDER TURNS to the mountain
Ez40-07 The ATTIC (ie the room on the BORDER) measured....*2
1R14-28 They returned the weapons to the SOLDIER ATTIC*3
NOTES
-----
*1 Rashis Nu34-07c Nu34-07d
*2 See RADACK, METZUDATH ZION and RASHI. The Hebrew TA does
not just mean a CHAMBER but means a CHAMBER on the BORDER
of the house
*3 I use ATTIC as a good English apprximation. ATTIC
definitionally means a room on the house border. But the
Hebrew TA could refer to ANY chamber on the house border
whether in the roof (ATTIC), basement (STORAGE ROOM), or
on the side
----------------------- LONGER FOOTNOTES --------------------
*10 There are about a dozen occurrences of the Hebrew TAH
The verb form (TO BORDER) occurs in Nu34-07. There are
several occurrences in Ez 40. There is one occurence
each in 1R14-28 and 2C12-11. But all other occurrences
(outside of Nu34-07) clearly refer to some type of
room (Which the commentators interpret as a storage
room---I have given the English equivalant, ATTIC).
The secular scholar Mendelkorn in his Konkordance suggests
that the root may come from Tauv-vav-hey (To OUTLINE).
