It fundamentally refers either to a (i) JAGGED STICKY COVERING or (ii) the VIGOROUS CLEANING ACTIONS needed to clean such a JAGGED STICKY covering. TODAYS UNIT =========== Today we start simply with the meaning COVER. We show that KPR doesnt just mean ANY covering but rather a JAGGED STICKY COVERING. The examples will clarify.

BACKGROUND ---------- The Hebrew root Kaph-Pay-resh has about 12 meanings: These include atone, tar, lion, perfume...etc ACKNOWLEDGEMENT --------------- Harry Rashbaum of my (former) Shomrey Emunah Rashi class brought this puzzle in. He indicated he was inspired to study this root by his Grandsons homework. REFERENCES ---------- Both Radack in his book ROOTS and Rashi discuss the multiple meanings of this root. SHOULD WE UNIFY --------------- The search for a unified meaning is not just an academic exercise -- the unification of meaning - sheds light on the EXACT NUANCES of each individual meaning; - prevents using/extending individual meanings incorrectly The footnotes will clarify these two benefits THE LISTS --------- In todays list we study the meaning COVER. As can be seen KPR doesnt refer to ANY covering but rather to a JAGGED STICKY COVERING. | ||
