GOALS:
------
I decided its time for a longer unit.
This unit which is a bit longer than the others focuses on a
major Rashi task--explaining the MEANINGS OF WORDS. EXPLAINING
MEANING is more than looking something up in a dictionary.
There are METHODS to explaining WORDS. In this module we will
explore HOW Rashi determines meaning --WHAT are Rashis methods.
TODAYS UNIT
-----------
As I was about to close out this series I noticed a beautiful
posting of mine whose URL is listed below with several dozen
punchy Rashis. These Rashis deal with HOW objects are named
and list 8 methods.
REFERENCE:
----------
This module comes from the following reference in the
Rashi-is-Simple series.

BACKGROUND
==========
You can name an object by any of 8 attributes of the
the object. For example you can name an object by how
it looks, their form, (e.g. PENTAGON refers to the FORM
of the building) or you can name an object by its PURPOSE
and FUNCTION (e.g. the UNITED NATIONS refers to the GOAL
of the buiding -- to UNITE the world) These 8 methods are
listed in footnote *1.
In previous days we have emphasized Rashis which review
concepts named by THEIR FORM. Today we review
The following Candellabrah parts which were named by
their FUNCTION--or purpose. For more command everyday
examples of items named by their form see footnote *2.
EXAMPLE 91: Ex25-37a, The Candellabrah FLAME means
========== the WICK (whose FUNCTION is to maintain the flame)*1*2
EXAMPLE 92: Ex25-38a,The TAKERS refer to COAL prongs by
========== which you can TAKE & ADJUST flames*1 *2
EXAMPLE 93: Ex25-38b,The CANDELLABRAH CLEANERS are
========== named from the ROOT CHTH, to rake or sweep.*1 *2

===========
These 3 Rashis (Example 91-93) on meaning are
repeated in Nu04-09a, Nu04-09b, Nu04-09c
The main posting explains the difference emphasii
in the Rashis on Ex vs the Rashis on Nu
