GOALS
=====
 --------------------------------------------------
 THE UNIT ON alignment IS MORE OR LESS FINISHED
 THE GRAND SUMMARY WILL BE PUBLISHED NEXT WEEKEND
 WE HOPE YOU HAVE ENJOYED IT
 WE START A NEW UNIT TODAY
 --------------------------------------------------
This module studies the meaning of the Hebrew root N-P-Sh.
Its fundamental meaning is EXPANSIVENESS. From this
fundamental meaning we obtain 6 meanings in 2 broad categories

 THE SIX MEANINGS
 ----------------
 EXPANSIVENESS is indicative of DESIRE. Hence N-Pa-Sh can mean
 * DESIRE
 * INTEREST (either LOSS of INTEREST, or RENEWED INTEREST)
 * The GENERAL CAPACITY FOR ADAPTIVITY & LIFE(i.e. the SOUL)

 Furthermore from this last meaning (ADAPTIVITY,LIFE,SOUL) we
 see that N-Pa-Sh can mean
 * LIVING BEINGS vs property (like SOULS in English)
 * A SOUL-HIT (N-P-Sh HIT) would denote a LETHAL BLOW
 * SOUL-FLESH would refer to a LIVE-ORGAN

This module is an excellent example of the Rashi Rule of UNIFED
MEANING since there are close to 2 dozen Rashis on this
enigmatic word.

TODAYS UNIT
===========
In todays unit we start off easy. We show that NEFESH can
mean PERSONHOOD or LIFE vs PROPERTY.
