**צִלְצַל.** אַמְבּוֹרִיץ בְּלַעַ״ז, לְשׁוֹן צֵל הוּא, וְהוּא מִתֵּיבוֹת כְּפוּלוֹת, כְּמוֹ ״יְרַקְרַק אֲדַמְדַּם״ (ויקרא יג:מט), ״פְּתַלְתֹּל״ (דברים לב:ה), ״קַעֲקַע״ (ויקרא יט:כח):

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
צִלְצַל is ombre in French. It is an expression of shadow, and that is one of the double words, like: green (ירקרק), red (אדמדם) [both in Lev. 13:49], twisted (פתלתל) [Deut. 32:5], tattoo (קעקע) [Lev. 19:28].

**אַל תּוֹסַף.** מִן יָסַף, כְּמוֹ ״וְלֹא יָסַף עוֹד לְדַעְתָּהּ״ (בראשית לח:כו); וּבְלַעַ״ז רֶקְרֵייטְרַ״שׁ. **אַל תּוֹסַף.** סָמֶ״ךְ נִפְתַּחַת, מִפְּנֵי סוֹף פָּסוּק; כְּמוֹ ״אַל תּוֹתַר״ (בראשית מט:ד); ״וַתֹּתַר״ (רות ב:יד); וְכֵן הַרְבֵּה כָּמוֹהוּ:

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**and do not [rest]** תּוֹסַף is derived from יסף, like (Gen.38:26), “and he did not cease (יָסַף) being intimate with her” (regrettera in French), will regret. [In the expression] אַל-תּוֹסַף, the “sammech” is vowelized with a “pattah” because of the pause accent, as in (Gen. 49:4), “You shall not gain superiority (תּוֹתַר) “; (Ruth 2:14), “and she left over (וַתּתַר),” and many like it.
