<font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=2>In last week's parsha the word
"m'tim" came up, which Rashi explains to mean
"anashim".<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=2>What is the shoresh of this
word? Is it related to the expression m'tei mispar? Is it
related to "mavet"? If so, what's the
connection?</font></blockquote><br>
<font color="#800000">There is an expression in Hebrew whish says,
essentially, if (the vowel) is lying down (tzere) then they are dead
(meitim). If it is standing (sheva) then they are alive
(m'tim).<br><br>
Or something like that.<br><br>
