VERSE: Gn28-17b

RASHIS COVERED: Gn28-17b Ex12-16a Ex15-04b Ex30-25a

========================== Gn28-17b ========================

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis goals is to teach grammar the same way
grammar is taught in modern grammar books. In todays
posting Rashi shows how identical or almost identical
forms can refer to either verbs or nouns/adjectives

EXAMPLE: NoRaH = REVERRED(an adjective);not REVER, the verb
EXAMPLE: MivChar = The CHOICEST(adjective); not CHOSE,the verb
EXAMPLE: ROkach = GROUND spices; not, GRIND the spices
EXAMPLE: MIKRAH=PROCLAIMED holy; not PROCLAIM holy

Gn24-23b  Inn        Noun  LAMED-chirik-YUD-NUN*1
Gn49-04d  Fiz        Adj   PAY-patach-CHET-Patach-ZAYIN*2
Ex19-18a  Smoke      Noun  AYIN-Kamatz-SHIN-Kamatz-NUN*2
Gn28-17b  Reverred   Adj   NUN-VUV-cholam-RESH-komatz ALEPH*3
Ex30-25a  Grated     Adj   RESH-Cholam-KUF-patach-CHET*4
Ex15-04b  Choicest   Adj   MEM-chirik-BETH-CHET-Patach-RESH*5
Ex12-16a  Proclaimed Adj   MEM-chirik-KUPH-RESH-komatz-ALPH*5

NOTES
-----
*1 Lamed yud nun refers to the NOUN (INN)
   Lamed Vuv Nun refers to the VERB (TO INN,STAY OVER)
   See e.g. Table 6 in Ibn Shoshan (1-Vav-3 roots)

*2 Pay-PATACH-chet-PATACH-zayin is the ADJECTIVE (fizzy)
   Pay-KOMATZ-chet-PATACH-zayin is the VERB (To FIZ soda)
   See Table 1 In Ibn Shoshan Volume 5

   Similarly Ayin-KAMATZ-Shin-KAMATZ-nun is the NOUN, SMOKE
   --------- Ayin-KAMATZ-Shin-PATACH-nun is the verb TO SMOKE

   Note the small differences in form.

*3 Verb and Adjective have the same form.
   So Rashi translates Gn28-17b as
   --------------------------
   HOW REVERRED IS THIS PLACE
   --------------------------

*4 If the accent is on the LAST syllable it is a verb
   If the accent is on the FIRST syllable it is a noun
   (The shifting of accent may change certain vowels)
   So Rashi translates this verse as
   --------------------
   Take GRATED perfumes
   --------------------

*5 So Rashi translates these verses as
   ---------------------------------
   these will be holidays--PROCLAIMED HOLY
   ---------------------------------
   or
   -----------------------------------
   the CHOICEST of his army drowned at sea
   -----------------------------------

   The form does not resemble any verb form.
   It does resemble other noun forms such as MIVNEH
   See Ibn Shoshan Volume 5, noun forms 92,93,94,95,
   208,209 etc.
