Word-by-Word Definitions


word-by-word for blatt

Command: blatt bava_basra 67a


This command indicates that we wish to grab all the text from Bava Basra Daf Samech Zayin Amud Aleph and look up each word in the loaded dictionaries and report the findings on a word by word basis along with the word number on the left, the percentage down the page, and the dictionary source.
In the scrollable window above, every word from the blatt is listed. If a word is found multiple times in multiple dictionaries or multiple times in a single dictionary, the color does not change until the next unique source word is encountered. Upon scrolling down to 70%, it will be seen that idioms are handled as Gemara phrases rather than as individual words. Furthermore, prefixes are separated and defined.

word-by-word rashi dibbur ha maskil

Command: rashi berachos 33a 0


We have just told 22lookup that we seek word-by-word definitions for Rashi in Masechta Berachos on Daf 33a… but there are many Rashis there. Instead of requiring the typing of all the characters in the Dibbur HaMaskil, affixing a zero to the end of the command serves as a Menu function that will return all the Dibbur HaMaskils with a code number that will be used in the next command as a selector. Please refer to the next command in the selection box where we request the 18th Dibbur HaMaskil מתוך שהיא חכמה


word-by-word rashi

Command: rashi berachos 33a 18


By replaciing the trailing zero in the previous command with the number of the Rashi we have chosen, we find one table with the word-by-word representation of the Dibbur HaMaskil and one table with the word-by-word representation of Rashi's commentary.


word-by-word tosfos dibbur ha maskil

Command: tosfos sanhedrin 41b 0


We have just told 22lookup that we seek word-by-word definitions for Tosfos in Masechta Sanhedrin on Daf 41b… but there are many Tosfosn there. Instead of requiring the typing of all the characters in the Dibbur HaMaskil, affixing a zero to the end of the command serves as a Menu function that will return all the Dibbur HaMaskils with a code number that will be used in the next command as a selector. Please refer to the next command in the selection box where we request the 3rd Dibbur HaMaskil אחד אומר בשתי שעות


word-by-word tosfos

Command: tosfos sanhedrin 41b 3


By replaciing the trailing zero in the previous command with the number of the Tosfos we have chosen, we find one table with the word-by-word representation of the Dibbur HaMaskil and one table with the word-by-word representation of the Tosfos commentary. If one scrolls down to the 75.1% mark, it can be seen that הנץ is defined as "name of a coin" or "sparkling" and the following word החמה is defined as "the warm / the hot or the sun." Now the two words should really be an idiom as הנץ החמה and mean the hanetz hachama, sunrise. It's important as the earliest or best time l'chatchila to do various mitzvos, and as a marker used in computing other z'manim. So, 22lookup has to be corrected.
There is a special dictionary category entitiled 'Contributed' where Club members can send in corrections and additions to the 22lookup database. As Club members, the next time the 22lookup program is started, a query from the compter to the website will cause the automatic update of files on the local computer and the idiom will take precedence over the "one word at a time" definitions. Thus, in sort of a Wikipedia manner, the 22lookup database will grow and be corrected thanks to the many Club members.

word-by-word maharsha_ha

Command: maharsha_ha 0


Here we could use some assistance. The Maharsha, among many other texts, authored Chiddushei Aggados and Chiddushei Halachos. Trying to fit these titles into our "old school" system of commends cause a bit of consternation. For now, 22lookup refers to Chiddushei Aggados as "maharsha_ha" (where the 'ha' is a quick indicator of Chiddushei Aggados).

For now, 22lookup refers to Chiddushei Halachos as "maharsha_hh" (where the 'hh' is a quick indicator of Chiddushei Halachos).
