QUESTION: Each word has a shoresh. We conjugate those shoreshim and create binyanim (banyan kal, banyan niphal, etc).
But shoreshim don’t create buildings – they produce plants, trees, etc. Buildings have foundation (yesodot).
So why the mix of metaphors? Are the binyanim related to something besides the shoreshim? Are there ‘trees’ or ‘plants’ or something else in Hebrew grammar which grows out of the shoreshim?
Any ideas?
Be well,
Moshe
We love a decent deal, and plan our shopping for food to save a couple of pennies off diaper buys and kitchen towels. In such manner, we show our frugal propensities and don't parade our riches. At times however, we go for costly suppers at tasteful eateries, maid service and remain at nearby 4/5-star lodgings for brief end of the week escapes as a team.
