What is "k'Evel Em"?
Rashi #1: It is like a son mourning over his mother. Radak - one mourns over her more than over his father, for he was created from her, in her womb, and she nursed, weaned and pampered him until he matured. Even after maturity, she is found in the house and prepares his food and drink.
Rashi #2: It is like a mother mourning over her son.
Radak citing his father: Like a baby whose mother died, and there is no one to nurse him; he is Koder (darkens).
What is the meaning of "Koder Shachosi"?
Radak #1: I went bowed, like a mourner, and my face darkened; the radiance departed.
Radak #2: I wore black, like a mourner.
Malbim: Amidst great pain and striving, I became gloomy and bent.
