An example of a self-defining word (or phrase) is "polysyllabic". It not only describes the word "encyclopedia", it describes and defines itself. If anyone knows what these kinds of words are called, please give us a call at the Israel Center. Ask for Phil. SHORT is a short word. If a doctor scrawls the word "illegible"so that no one can read it, then that word would be one of them. And so, if you follow the drift here, give a try to this self defining "PPP" for Parshat B'reishit. Send answers to Rabbi Phil Chernofsky at tt@ou.org [The ParshaPix Index][The B'reishit Homepage]
