1) [line 5] HA'MADIR ES ISHTO - one who makes a vow prohibiting his wife from having benefit from him

2) [line 17] V'KIYEM LAH HU (HAFARAS and KIYUM NEDARIM - Annulling and Enforcing vows)
(a) A man has the right to annul certain vows of his wife and his daughter, as the Torah states in Bamidbar 30:6, 9, 13-14. He accomplishes this if on the day that he hears the vow he states "Mufar Lach" ("it is annulled"). There is an argument among the Tana'im whether the vow must be annulled before nightfall on the day the husband/father heard it, or before 24 hours pass from when he heard it (Shabbos 157a). If he does not annul the vow by the end of the day, or if he is Mekayem (upholds) the vow even before the day is over (by saying "the vow should remain valid!"), the vow takes effect and his wife or daughter must abide by their vows.
(b) A father may annul the vows of his daughter while she is a minor or Na'arah (when she grows two pubic hairs) until she becomes a Bogeres (six months after she becomes a Na'arah). If the father marries her off when she is a minor, during the period of Eirusin both the father *and* the future husband must annul the vows in order for the annulment to take place. After the period of Nisu'in, the husband may annul the vows and not the father. Nobody may annul the vows of an unmarried *mature* woman; they need to be revoked, as follows.
(c) When an adult makes a Neder (or designates Chalah, Terumah or Kodshim) 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 person would not have made the Neder in the first place had he been aware of a particular fact.

3) [line 46] CHAVIVI - (lit. my beloved one) Rebbi Chiya, Rav's uncle. Rav's father Aibo was Rebbi Chiya's brother from the same father. However, they did not share the same mother. Aibo married Rebbi Chiya's sister from his mother, and as such, Rav was the son of Rebbi Chiya's brother and sister (Sanhedrin 5a)

4) [line 12] REFU'AH SHE'YESH LAH KITZVAH - a cure or treatment that has a limit, since the illness is not chronic

19) [line 30] BERA LIROS, BARTA LO TEIROS - a son should inherit [but] a daughter should not inherit

20) [line 30] U'MESAKNEI D'SEIROS BERATA?! - and they enact an ordinance that causes the daughter to inherit?!; i.e. since the daughter gets as a dowry a portion of the father's estate (while he is alive) that was destined to be inherited only by his sons

23) [line 35] AD L'ISUR NICHSEI - up to one tenth of the father's possessions
24) [line 35] V'EIMA D'AV LIROS, D'VA'AL LO LIROS - perhaps the sons of the wife should inherit only the dowry given by her father, but not the part of the Kesuvah given by the husband

25) [line 40] MOSAR DINAR - an extra Dinar [above and beyond the value of the two Kesuvos].
