### sense in the lessons

In English and language lessons, children build their vocabulary by reading and learning new words; in maths, vocabulary words include sum, difference, product and quotient. In everyday life, reading widely grows your vocabulary. Phrases: build your vocabulary, a wide vocabulary, vocabulary list, key vocabulary.

### examples

- Midrash Tanchuma 1:5 on [Genesis 1:1], Zohar 1:3a inter alia.] [note 8: Though the phrase is usually translated the ‘Thirty-Two Paths’, I find that the alliteration of ‘Wondrous Ways of Wisdom’ neatly approximates the SY’s choice of poetic vocabulary.
