### sense in the lessons

Interpretation: In Sefer Yetzirah, cold comes from water, as heat comes from fire. Wind or air decides between them. The tradition reads these opposites as being balanced and made one. In the primary lessons: In science, cold means low temperature: ice is cold, things cool down when heat leaves them; water freezes at 0 °C. In health: a cold is caused by germs (viruses), spread by sneezes and touch; wash hands. In safety: dress warmly in cold weather. Phrases: catch a cold, cold weather, ice-cold, out in the cold, cold-blooded.

### note

"A cold" (illness) is countable; "the cold" (weather) is not. Myth: going out with wet hair does not give you a cold; germs do. Cold is not a thing that flows in — heat flows out. Comparatives: colder, coldest. Lower temperature numbers mean colder.
