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 or THEIR FUNCTION.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
 Today we give the following list of items
 named by WHAT THEY ARE MADE OF or HOW THEY ARE MADE
--------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) LINOLEUM refers to a floor made of linoleum
(2) An IRON (utensil) is made of iron & is used to Irons clothes
(3) PLASTER Binds materials
(4) GLASSES are a utensil made of glass that helps you see

Hence we have the following Rashis


EXAMPLE 99: Ex01-16b The STONES were a
==========  BIRTHSTOOL made of STONES

EXAMPLE 100: Ex28-32b A DOUBLED garment means the
===========  HEM was folded over & sewn
