VERSE: Dt01-13c


RULE: There are 3 words denoting wisdom and leadership.

EXAMPLES
--------
(1) CHACHAM = Wise=Lots of Knowledge *1
(2) NVON=Intelligent--capacity for inference/deduction
(3) YDIM SVTAYCHEM=Familiar and RESPECTED by your tribes.


NOTES
-----
*1 The etymology of CHACHAM = WiSE = What (MH) a PALATE(CHCH).
   A list of roots ending in MEM is brought.(This is my
   own and not brought in Rashi...but it does clarify him)


{LIST1} {3 letter roots ending in MM whose etymologies are
                >XY MM = What (MM) XY
         For example
                >ARM (Naked) = What (MH) Skin (OR)
         Exceptions are discussed in the footnotes *1
         The roots were obtained from Radacks book of ROOTS.
         As indicated in the text when dealing with words with
         lots of meanings it is preferable to use a defense
         based on etymology rather than verse usage}

MEANING OF                              MEANING OF
3 LETTER ROOT    =      WHAT            LAST 2 LETTERS
=============           ====            ==============
NAKED (ARM)      =      What (MH)       Skin (OR)
RAINY LAND (GShM)=      What (Mh)       Clodds(GSh)
SILOUETTE (TzLM) =      What (Mh)       a Shadow (TzL)
BUNDLED (GLM)    =      What (Mh)       Rolled up(GLL)
WISE (ChKM)      =      What (Mh)       a Palate (ChK)
POWERFUL(ATzM)   =      What (Mh)       a stick (AyTz)
LADDER (SLM)     =      What (Mh)       a mountain road(mslah*2)
DESTROY(CLM)     =      What (Mh)       Destruction* (CLH)*5
PARCHED (TzNM)   =      How  (Mh)       Thorny (Tznh)*3
WIDOW (ALM)      =      How  (Mh)       Cursed (ALH)
VINEYARD(CRM)    =      How  (Mh)       Plowed (CRR *4)


FOOTNOTES
=========
*1 We have explained that
        >XY M = What XY
   However there are other 1 letter meanings to M--besides
        >M= MH = WHAT... (Alot)
        >M = MN = REMOVED FROM
   Hence we have the etymologies
        >Perfume (BSM) = Removed from (MN) Embarassment (BSH)
        >South (DRM) = Removed from (MN) Habitation(DiRah)
        >Youth (ALM) = Removed from (MN) being on top (AL)


*2 There is a bit of poetic lisence here
        >mountain road=Ladder
   This is normal in etymologies. Actually the verb SLL
   means to "GO UP" against obstacles whether thru a mountain
   or otherwise.

*3 The point being that something PARCHED is rough to the touch
   (thorny-like)

*4 Vineyards are traditionally more plowed than other farm lands


*5 Both CLH and CLM mean to destroy
