VERSE: Gn49-10d


RULE: Many Hebrew roots beginning with the letter YUD have the
same meaning as the root without the letter YUD*5.
In particular we have
        >The Root KHH = Decay/rust
        >The root YKH = KHH (because of the Yud)
Hence
        >YKH = decay/rust*6


EXAMPLES
--------
------------------------------------------------------------
(There are only 2 occurences of Y-K-H in the Bible)
------------------------------------------------------------
(1) Prv30-17 despises the OLD WRINKLED MOTHER
(2) Gn49-10 the WORN OUT NATIONS will surrender to King Mesiah


-------------------------------------------------------
There are only 2 occurences of K-H-H in the Bible
-------------------------------------------------------
(3) Jer31-28       The YIKHATH(rotting) of teeth
(4) Ecc10-10        YIKHATH(decay) of iron

{LIST } {Roots beginning with YUD that have the same meaning
        as the Last two letters of the Root *4.SOURCE: Browse

        explicitly gives some of these pairs  }

FOOTNOTES
*1 The RDQ explicitly says the two roots have the same meaning
*2 The RDQ translates each root the same way (but does not
   explicitly connect them
*3 The two roots do not have identical meanings but do have
   similar meanings. Thus something UNIQUE is ONE of a king.
   Similarly to REVERE someone is to constantly see him/her
   before you in your mind (cause-effect). Similarly a person
   (or object) becomes WORN OUT by REPEATED USE.

*4 (As I have explained many times Rashi is
not rejecting the 3-letter root theory For Rashi believes that
GRAMMATICAL FORM is determined by 3 letter roots. Nevertheless
SEMANTIC MEANING of roots can be determined by a decomposition into
a one letter and 2 letter root. By one-letter and two-letter roots I
mean a 3 letter root with 2 or 2 weak letters.)

*6 There is a 4 way controversy among the Rishonim on what
The root YKH means. The 4 suggested meanings are

(6a) RDK        Obedience
(6b) IBN EZRA   GATHERING
(6c) RMBN       WEAKNESS
(6d) RASHI      DULLNESS
