נסי vb. to support, take (< A נשׂא KBL 1101; SA נסי LOT 3/2 198:82) Pe. 1. to support: אין את מ{ב}<נ>צע קניי לא נסייה (even) if you stick in reeds, (the land) cannot support them Tan 69b(25) // EchR 107:4; 2. to take: a. alone: נסא חד קטיל וטמריה he took a corpse and interred it BRV 60 944:1; ib. 943:1; הוא אתי ב{ר}<ד>א ונסי לון he comes from this side and takes them Er 22c(6); יבון לון מה דנסתון give them what you took BQ 5c(45); מי נסי פלטי ומי יהב פלטיאל when he takes he is Palti; when he gives, he is Paltiel VR 543:3; b. esp. w. attached pron. suf.: נסתיה ומסריה לנמרוד he took them and handed him over to Nimrod BR 363:4; ib. 761:3; VR 813:2; MS 55a(50); Sab 3b(56); MQ 81c(64); Ket 33a(32); אשכח גוזלין ונסתון he found pigeons and took them BM 8a(1); Kil 32c(23) // Ket 35b(33); MS 54d(29); Hag 77a(37); נסותה לסטאי the robbers took her (i.e. the she-ass) BR 648:5; נסוניה VRK 245:6Because of the similarity in form between this rt. and the more common √נסב , the latter most likely replaced √נסי in many texts, as can be seen by checking the variants to the Midrashic texts quoted; cf. also נסי Pes 32a(14), corrected in L to נסיב . The mng. of אי בעא מינס נסא MS 55a(50) is unclear, but may belong to this rt.
[נשׂא vb. to remove Pe. אימה נשאה והוא אכל his mother would remove (the bread from the oven), and he would eat PRK 194:4
This rt. is doubtful, for two reasons: 1. The // SR 32a(7) has נסחא (→ √נסח ); 2. √נשׂא occurs in JPA as → √נסי .]
