*3*) [line 24] V'IM ISA NEIMA LEI MAN AMARAH? - that is, if Rebbi Yochanan was not aware of Rebbi's ruling, he should have asked Rebbi Chanina "who is it that said "Motz'in?" (and upon hearing that it was Rebbi, he would have admitted to his mistake).

4) [line 26] D'IKA REVACH BEISA - there is ample revenue in the house (she has sufficient provisions since she inherits half of the estate)

5) [line 29] BAS, YORESHES HAVYA - a daughter's claim of a tenth of the estate is the claim of an heir (and she can collect her claim from any or all of the fields of the estate)

10) [line 37] BEINONIS SHE'LO BI'SHEVU'AH / ZIBURIS BI'SHEVU'AH
(a) A person may pay his debts by transferring his ownership of a plot of land into the hands of his creditor. For this purpose, Chazal classified plots of land using three levels of quality: Ziburis - the poorest quality, Beinonis - average quality and Idis - the highest quality. Damages (Nezikin) are reimbursed with Idis. Standard loans (Halva'os) and debts (Chovos) are repaid using Beinonis. The value of a Kesuvah or debts owed by orphans for claims on their father's estate are paid using Ziburis.
(b) When a person collects a debt from orphans, he has to take an oath that he did not receive payment from their father.

11) [line 42] ITZTEROVLA - the lower millstone (which is immovable)

18) [line 9] YINCHAM KESIV - it is written as if it said, "[...like a mourner] who is being comforted."

19) [line 10] "...V'SAR MIRZACH SERUCHIM." - "[Therefore now they shall go into exile at the head of the exiles,] and the revelry of those who stretched themselves [out on their beds (a reference to Amos 6: 4)] shall pass away." (Amos 6:7) - Chazal make a play on the word "v'Sar" ("and it shall pass away"), rendering it as if it were written with the letter Sin ("v'Sar" = "and he will be a minister"). The second half of this verse is thus translated as, "and the Mirzach (the mourner who was Mar v'Zach -- *bitter and distracted*) will be a minister over Seruchim (*important personages* who come to comfort him)."
