# transposed

verb (transpose, transposes, transposed, transposing)

«transposed» in the English dictionary: in Jewish tradition — its meanings, how the lessons use it, and examples, each with its tree on Mova.

## In Jewish tradition

Interpretation: Kalisch notes that moving the letters of "oneg" (joy) makes "nega" (plague), a sign of how the letters work. In the primary lessons: in tales the writer has transposed two parts of a story so that the events come in a different order.

### Meaning

1. To change the places of two things, so that each takes the other's place. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/T/transposed/#m1)
