[Mesorah] Tekiaseinu

[Ira L. Jacobson]

At 03-10-19 at 07:31, Zev Sero via Mesorah stated the following:

>I believe "tekiaseinu" in that phrase is a verb, not a noun; i.e. it 
>refers not to the blasts but to the act of blowing, which is 
>singular. "Kol tekiaseinu" is thus "the sound of our blowing".


In fact, as noted by Even Shoshan, teqi`a is a noun with two meanings:
1.  The production of a long sound with a wind instrument;
2.  The extended sound produced by the shofar on the Days of Awe, as 
contrasted with teru`a and shevarim.

There is also an apparently unrelated meaning: viz., inserting an 
object into another object.  (As in Yehezqel 23: teqi`at sakin . . . baqarka.)
