Isaac,
Furthermore, if there is no such thing as "come from" in Hebrew then how are any of the words in your etymological scheme, which is as extensive as mine, at all connected?

In my opinion there is no such thing in Hebrew as "comes from". One word does not "come from" another word. If ראש RO$, 'head', "comes from" ראה RAAH, 'see', then by this plan of things רעש RAA$, 'rattle', "comes from" רעה RAAH, 'pasture'.Isaac Fried, Boston UniversityOn Nov 29, 2012, at 1:52 PM, David Kolinsky wrote:ראש meaning head comes from ראה meaning "the place of seeing"_______________________________________________b-hebrew mailing list
