5) [line 5] YESH SHALI'ACH LI'DEVAR AVEIRAH - in this case, a Shali'ach *can* be appointed to perform an Aveirah (such that the Aveirah will be attributed to the one who sent him and not to the Shali'ach who actually performs the Aveirah)

MESHICHAH
(a) When a person buys an object, he must make a Ma'aseh Kinyan, a formal Halachically-binding act denoting his acquisition of the object, in order for the sale to be irrevocably binding. Depending on what object one is acquiring, different Kinyanim are used, as follows.
(b) The forms of Kinyan that may be used for the acquisition of Metaltelin (mobile items) are:

1. Hagbahah, i.e. lifting the item;
2. Meshichah, i.e. pulling the item or causing it to move;
3. Mesirah, i.e. handing over the reigns of an animal the tie lines of a boat or a bill of debt (Shtar Chov);
4. Chatzer, i.e. bringing the item into one's private domain;
5. Chalipin (exchange or barter), i.e. taking another object to demonstrate one's consent for the Kinyan (or for an agreement).
6. Agav, i.e. acquiring the moveable object automatically upon the acquisition of land.

10) [line 20] L'SHOMER CHINAM L'SHO'EL L'NOSEI SACHAR UL'SOCHER - he gave the animal to one of these types of Shomrim
(4 SHOMRIM - four types of watchmen mentioned in the Torah)
(a) SHOMER CHINAM - the Shomer Chinam is one who watches his friend's item for no reimbursement. He is liable for damages only in cases of Peshi'ah (negligence), but not in cases of theft or loss, and certainly not in a case of Ones (an unavoidable accident).
(b) SHO'EL - the Sho'el, the borrower, is one who borrows an item from his friend and is obligated to take care of it. He is liable for damages in cases of Peshi'ah (negligence), theft or loss, and Ones (an unavoidable accident). (He is exempt from damages only in a case of "Meisah Machmas Melachah," when the item was damaged in the normal manner of usage.)
(c) NOSEI SACHAR - Nosei Sachar, or Shomer Sachar, is one who is paid to watch an article. He is liable for damages in cases of Peshi'ah (negligence), theft or loss, but is not liable in a case of Ones (an unavoidable accident).
(d) SOCHER - the Socher, or renter, is one who pays money to rent an item from his friend. He is liable for damages in cases of Peshi'ah (negligence), theft or loss, but is not liable in a case of Ones (an unavoidable accident) (RASHI to Bava Kama 4b). (There is actually a Machlokes in Bava Metzia whether the Socher has the status of the Nosei Sachar, or the status of a Shomer Chinam).

12) [line 32] KARKA NIKNEIS B'CHESEF BI'SHETAR UV'CHAZAKAH - land is acquired through money, a contract, or through a Chazakah(KINYAN CHAZAKAH)

(b) Examples of Chazakah for real estate are Na'al (locking), Gadar (fencing in) and Paratz (making a breach in a fence to create an entrance) or any act that is done to *enhance* the land, such as digging to improve a field and the like (MISHNAH Bava Basra 42a).

18) [line 10] BA'ALEI SHECHEM - the people of Shechem. When Gid'on saved the Jewish people from the Midyanim, he refused the Jewish people's request of him to become king, saying that only HaSh-m is their King. In the merit of his saying that the Jews need no king other than HaSh-m, his son, Avimelech, became king for three years. However, Avimelech was a wicked person who took the kingship by force after his father's death by killing his brothers. One brother, Yosam, survived. Yosam was a righteous person who rebuked the Jewish people, particularly the people of Shechem who were wicked and joined Avimelech. Eventually, an internal conflict waged between the people of Shechem and Avimelech, in which Avimelech as well as many of the people of Shechem were killed.
