 קרא
+Qera means study or investigate.
-This word is often used interchangeably with [[shem]], with disastrous results.
+This word is often ignored or conflated and used interchangeably with [[shem]], with disastrous results.
-FIXME examine Genesis 2:19-20 and Genesis 4:26
+The traditional interpretation of Genesis 2:19-20 is an example of this:
-====study====
+//And formed Yahweh God out of the ground every beast of the field and every bird of the air and He brought [them] to Adam to see what he would call And whatever called Adam [each] creature living that [was] its name - So gave Adam names to all livestock and to the birds of the air and to every beast of the field but for Adam not was found a helper suitable//
-FIXME examine "to study" rather than "call". Check Gen 26 connection to [[mayim]]
+The traditional English interpretation contains no mention at all of any studying, despite the fact that 'qera' appears three times within this short passage:
-====qera et shem====
-FIXME - this section appears to overlap somewhat with [[shem#studied_the_legends]]
+A direct transliteration using traditional meanings of the contested words yields only gibberish:
+"sculpted Jehovah The Elohim from all Adam living in the hills with all the birds of the heavens arrived to Adam look what name. all named Adam souls living name. Name Adam name all beasts birds of the heavens all life in the hills Adam not found help with"
+A lot of interpretation has been added to the raw text, in order to arrive at the traditional interpretation.
+If we go back to the original words:
+'itzer ihoah elohim men adem kel hi shedah at kel oyop shemim ba al adem araha omah **qera** kel asher **qera** adem nepesh hi hia shem **qera** adem shem kel behamah oyop shemim kel hi shedah adem la ametza yezer neged'
+A more literal translation from the Hebrew yields the following:
+//sculpted [[Ihoh]] The [[Alehim]] from all humans living in the hills with all the birds. The Legendary Ones arrived to human looked what studied. all studied human souls living characteristics
+studied human characteristics all beasts birds. The legendary ones all living in the hills humans not found help with//((Genesis 2:19-20))
+This transliteration is raw and no words have been altered from the Hebrew root. Though the full meaning is not immediately obvious, it is a vastly different take on the story we think we know.
+This passage provides an excellent opportunity to compare several words at once, in a well-known context.
+The words in question here are
+Adam, Shem, Shemim, qera, adam
+====The Studies of Seth====
+FIXME examine Genesis 4:26
+FIXME Check Gen 26 connection to [[mayim]]
+====qera et shem====
 The ancient Hebrew phrase קרא את שמ (qera et [[shem]]) can be literally translated as "study the characteristics".
