6) [line 18] "[ISH OHEV CHOCHMAH YISAMACH AVIV,] V'RO'EH ZONOS YE'ABED HON" - "[He who loves wisdom gladdens his father,] but he who keeps company with harlots wastes his wealth." (Mishlei 29:3) - This is the only place in the Tanach where the word Zonos appears with two letters Vav. The word is broken into two parts and read Zo (this) Na'eh (is pleasing). (The second Vav is exchanged for the letters Alef and Heh, whose Gematriya is 6 = Vav.) Hence the Gemara learns from this verse that if a person says that a Torah teaching is pleasing, he will loose his wealth of Torah knowledge, since he implies that there are other teachings that are not pleasing. The Tav at the end of the word includes the instance when a person says that a particular teaching is not pleasing (RASHI to Mishley ibid. and MAHARSHA here).

11) [line 33] NICHSEI HA'GER
(a) When a Jew dies, his closest relatives inherit his estate (according to the hierarchy established by the Torah as recorded in Bamidbar 27:8-11). Since all of the Jews are related to each other (at least through Yakov Avinu and his sons), every Jew must have at least one heir. A convert, however, may have no heirs (since his non-Jewish relatives do not inherit his estate). When a convert dies without heirs, his estate becomes Hefker (ownerless). The first person who takes possession of his belongings becomes their owner.
(b) In order to take possession of the estate of a convert who dies without any heirs, one must make a Ma'aseh Kinyan (a formal Halachically-binding act of possession), as in all cases of taking possession of items that are Hefker. The forms of Ma'aseh Kinyan that may be used are: for Metaltelin (movable goods) - (1) Hagbahah, i.e. lifting an item; (2) Meshichah (lit. pulling), i.e. causing an item to move; (3) Chatzer, i.e. bringing the item into his domain; for Mekarka'in (real estate) - Chazakah, i.e. performing an act that is normally performed by an owner.
(c) Examples of Chazakah 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).

24) [line 43] POSCHIN B'CHARATAH
(a) The laws of Nedarim (vows) are described in the Torah in Bamidbar 30:2- 17. If a person makes a vow not to eat a certain food and he eats from that food after being warned by two witnesses not to, he gets Malkos.
(b) When a person makes a Neder or Nezirus, he may have it revoked by a Beis Din of three (if they are not outstanding authorities) or a Yachid Mumcheh (an outstanding authority). The general method used is that Beis Din investigates whether the one who made the Neder would not have made the Neder in the first place had he been aware of a particular fact.

25) [line 45] "YESH BOTEH K'MADKEROS CHEREV ..." - "There is one who speaks like the stabs of a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing." (Mishlei 12:18)

26) [line 50] V'A'PETITIN LO AVDAN? - do they not perform witchcraft on pieces of bread?

28) [last line] D'SHAKLEI B'AGRAIHU - they would take pieces of bread for their wages
