2a) [line 9] SHA'ALU PASUL - [if the witnesses signed the Get after the words telling them to] "inquire [about his welfare]," then the Get is invalid [because we are concerned that the witnesses are attesting only to the words of greeting and not to the rest of the contents of the Get]
b) [line 10] V'SHA'ALU KASHER - [if the witnesses signed the Get after the words telling them,] "*and* inquire [about his welfare]," then the Get is valid [because the word "and" connects the words of greeting with the earlier content of the Get]

6) [line 39] B'VEN YAKOV ED - [let the right-hand Get be valid with the first signature, "Reuven," and the left-hand Get be valid] with [the second part of his signature,] "Ben Ya'akov, witness"

17) [line 21] GET PASHUT
Two types of Gitin were in use at the time of Chazal: a Get Pashut and a Get Mekushar. A Get Pashut is written on a piece of parchment, etc., that is Pashut (spread out and unfolded), and the witnesses sign on the bottom, below the text. A Get Mekushar is written in a very cumbersome manner. One or two lines are written, part of the parchment is folded over the writing and the fold is sewn down. A witness must sign on each part that is folded over. The Get Mekushar was instituted so that quick-tempered Kohanim would not be able to divorce their wives easily, since a Kohen may not marry a divorcee. It was assumed that the amount of time necessary to write a Get Mekushar would give the Kohen time to calm down.

18a) [line 21] HIKIF - he attached
b) [line 21] ROSHO SHEL ZEH B'TZAD ROSHO SHEL ZEH - the top of this Get to the top of the other Get (the words of one Get are rotated 180 degrees with regard to the other Get)

21) [line 33] ISRAMI - it happened to coincide
22) [line 34] GAZYEI - he cut off
