Berachos 38

***************GIRSA SECTION********************
We recommend using the textual changes suggested by the Bach, Rav B. Rensburg and the parenthetical marginal notes of the Vilna Shas. This section is devoted to any *OTHER* changes that we feel ought to be made in Gemara, Rashi or Tosfos.)

[1] Gemara 38a [line 1]:
The words "*k'Avin* Chayavin, k'Limudin Peturin"
should be "*Ka'achin* Chayavin, k'Limudin Peturin"
This is the Girsa in many Rishonim and in Dikdukei Sofrim #10. (The Girsa
in Dikdukei Sofrim is actually "Limudin" instead of "k'Limudin," which is
in keeping with the Girsa "Ka'achin" since the Kaf of ke'Achin is part of the Shoresh)
