3) [line 16] K'SHE'EIN BAH DIN CHALUKAH - when the courtyard is not large enough to be divided between the two of them. (The courtyard is not sizable enough to allow one partner to force the other to split the courtyard between the two of them, if the other partner would prefer to share the use of the entire courtyard.)

9) [line 39] KINYAN DEVARIM B'ALMA HU! - It is merely a Kinyan finalizing a verbal agreement, but it is not finalizing any transaction, and therefore is not binding!

10) [line 40] BESHE'KANU MI'YADAN B'RUCHOS - when they made a formal act of Kinyan with regard to the "directions;" the Kinyan finalized an agreement as to which part of the courtyard each partner would receive, and therefore it is considered a transaction and is binding

(Melachim I 7:9)

13) [line 43] ORCHEI - half bricks
14) [line 44] V'HAI TEFACH YESEIRA L'MORASHA D'KARNASA - this additional space of one Tefach (which a wall made of Gevil protrudes more than a wall made of Gazis) is because of the rough stones that protrude

27) [line 15] HA'KORAH SHE'AMRU, RECHAVAH KEDEI L'KABEL ARI'ACH - the beam that is under discussion should be wide enough to support a half brick (LECHI V'KORAH)
(a) Although mid'Oraisa a Mavoy (an alley that is walled on three sides that leads into a public thoroughfare and has courtyards that open into it) is a Reshus ha'Yachid, nevertheless, the Chachamim prohibited carrying objects in a Mavoy a distance of four Amos or more. This decree was enacted because of its similarity to a Reshus ha'Rabim, since many families make use of a single Mavoy.
(b) Carrying in a Mavoy is permitted if a *Lechi* is placed vertically against one of the walls at the entrance to the Mavoy. A Lechi is a pole, plank, or other object that is at least ten Tefachim high. It serves as a Mechitzah (a fourth wall) or as a Heker (reminder) to signal the border of Reshus ha'Rabim and Reshus ha'Yachid so that people do not transfer objects from the Mavoy to the adjacent Reshus ha'Rabim (Eruvin 5a, 15a).
(c) Another method to permit carrying in a Mavoy is with a *Korah* (a beam, one Tefach wide). The Korah is placed horizontally across the top of the entrance to the Mavoy, and serves as a Mechitzah (a fourth wall) or as a Heker (reminder) to signal the border of Reshus ha'Rabim and Reshus ha'Yachid so that people do not transfer objects from the Mavoy to the adjacent Reshus ha'Rabim (see Insights to Eruvin 2a, and Graphic #1).
(d) The Lechi and Korah must be used in conjunction with a Shituf Mavo'os (see Introduction to Maseches Eruvin [III]) to permit carrying within the Mavoy.

b) [line 21] MISHUM TZELUYEI - so that there should be a place to pray in the interim

31a) [line 23] SASREI U'VANU BEI KAITA B'SISVA - they dismantled and rebuilt the summer synagogue in the winter

32) [line 25] GAVU ZUZEI U'MACHTEI - if the money was collected and put away
33) [line 26] DILMA MISRAMI LEHU PIDYON SHEVUYIM V'YAHAVEI LEHU - perhaps the need will arise to ransom prisoners and the money raised for building the synagogue will be used for that purpose

40) [line 34] BAVA BEN BUTA HEICHI ASVEI LEI ETZAH L'HURDUS L'MISTEREI L'VEIS HA'MIKDASH? - How could it be that Bava ben Buta could have given advice to King Hurdus (Herod) to dismantle the Beis ha'Mikdash (as the Gemara will soon describe)?
