[Heb-NACO] FW: Meaning of these rashe tevot

[Jasmin Nof]

The classic work, Otsar rashe tevot, has been digitized and is online at 
http://www.daat.ac.il/daat/vl/tohen.asp?id=9.  It would give several 
options of which meaning is intended, but you'd need to figure out based 
on context which of the given options the appropriate rashe tevot are.  
Another source is Princeton's site of Hebrew cataloging tools, 
http://library.princeton.edu/departments/tsd/katmandu/hebrew/hebrewtoc.html, 
which include Hebrew Abbreviations.  They spell out in romanized form 
what the rashe tevot are, but again, do not include "meaning" or 
"authorship".  That would require more research on your part. Wikipedia 
can be a good first stop once you know what the spelled out form is 
(presuming you romanize it properly, c.f. Rama vs. Rema:  the correct 
form is the latter; the former is a Vishnu god in Hinduism).

And of course, your colleagues are also an excellent reference :-) .

Best wishes and happy learning, Jasmin
