SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis 10 main goals is the explanation of
meaning the same way a dictionary explains meaning.
We call this the Rashi method of WORD MEANING.

Rashi had 10 vehicles by which to explain words.
Rashi frequently explains not, word meaning, but rather
phrase meaning. That is each particular word in the
phrase may have a known meaning but the collection of
words  together form a NEW IDIOMATIC MEANING.
We call this the NEW MEANING or the IDIOM SUBMETHOD.

EXAMPLE: Nu21-20c
-----------------
Verse Nu21-20c states
--------------------------------
And from Bamoth in the valley that is
in the country of Moab, to the HEAD OF THE CLIFF,
which looks toward Jeshimon
--------------------------------

Rashi explains the idiom the HEAD OF THE CLIFF
----------------------------------
the TOP OF THE CLIFF
----------------------------------

NOTE: The Hebrew word HEAD can mean both
- BEGINNING
- TOP
However in this verse
- the HEAD OF THE CLIFF contrasts with
- the VALLEY in MOAB
Hence HEAD means TOP
