1) [line 1] "BI'ARTI HA'KODESH MIN HA'BAYIS..." - "I have removed all of the holy things from my *house*... " (Devarim 26:13) - The "holy things" refer to the Ma'aser Sheni (see Background to Bava Metzia 52:3) and Neta Reva'i (see Background to Bava Metzia 55:19) that must be separated from one's crop in the years that they apply. The words in the remainder of this verse include other gifts that must be separated, such as Bikurim (see Background to Bava Metzia 52:37), Terumos, Ma'aser Rishon and Ma'aser Ani (see Background to Bava Metzia 52:3:a-c). 2) [line 2] AFILU CHATZER KOVA'AS - even bringing the produce into one's courtyard renders it "Hukba l'Ma'aser" (see Background to Bava Metzia 87:49) 3) [line 6] HA'MISHTAMER - that is able to safeguard its contents and keep outsiders from taking them (see Background to Bava Metzia 9:10:e) 4) [line 9] KARPIFOS - enclosed areas that are located outside of a settlement, used for storage and other such purposes 5) [line 9] REBBI CHANINA CHOZA'AH - Rebbi Chanina from Bei Choza'ei, a district of Bavel on the caravan road, along the Tigris River and its canals

12) [line 2] ASMACHTA 1. From the words of the RAMBAM (Introduction to his Perush ha'Mishnayos) it appears that Asmachta'os are only mnemonic devices. (It is possible that he writes this only with regard to the latter type of Asmachta, Asmachta'os for Isurei Torah.)(d) There are those who write that a Halachah mid'Rabanan that is learned from an Asmachta, and which has a hint in the apparent meaning of the verses, is more stringent than an Isur mid'Rabanan for which an Asmachta from the Torah is not offered. These Halachos were given the status of Halachos of the Torah in certain respects, for example, with regard to the requirement to be stringent in the case of a Safek (PRI MEGADIM, Introduction to Shulchan Aruch Orach Chayim 1:2:d) 13) [line 4] IM CHASAMTA (LAV D'CHASIMAH) It is prohibited to muzzle an ox when it is threshing grain, as the Torah states, "Lo Sachsom Shor b'Disho" (Devarim 25:4). The Sugyos that follow delineate the various aspects of this Lav. 14) [line 6] EIZEHU GORNAN L'MA'ASROS? - At what stage are certain crops considered completed (like a pile of wheat on the threshing floor) to the extent that Terumos and Ma'asros must be separated?
