I am trying to render the concept of "contamination".
I started from: <Say'> "be clean" and <lam> "be dirty"
and formed <Say'moH> 'cause to be clean', and <lammoH> 'cause to be dirty'...
so, maybe <lammoHghach> works for 'contamination'...
But, what about: <Say'Ha'> 'be unclean' (?) and <lamHa'> 'be
not-dirty' (?)... ?
and from there:
<Say'Ha'moH> 'cause "a change in direction" from clean to unclean' (?)
<lamHa'moH> 'cause "a change in direction" from dirty to not-dirty' (?)
But here we have canon:
"Where can I get my shoes cleaned?"
<nuqDaq waqwIj vIlamHa'choHmoH>
Please note: <lamHa'choHmoH> instead of <lamHa'moH>. *why?*
So, it should be: <lamHa'choHmoH> and <Say'Ha'choHmoH> yes?
BTW, this is the only example I found in the form <-Ha'choHmoH> but
there are many <-descansa amorHa'moH>... And why not <nuqDaq waqwIj
vISay'moH> or <nuqDaq waqwIj vISay'choHmoH> ?
So, I assume <Say'Ha'choHmoH> works as 'to contaminate'
And then <Say'Ha'choHmoHghach> would be 'contamination'. yes?
Any difference between <lammoH> and <Say'Ha'choHmoH>? Any difference
between <lammoHghach> and <Say'Ha'choHmoHghach>?
Thanks,
