Kesuvos 90
1) [line 10] CHIDSHU - if they added to the amount of the first Kesuvah
2) [line 14] MASNISIN AT'IESI - our Mishnah led him to make a mistake
*****PEREK #10 MI SHE'HAYAH NASUY*****
3) [line 22] KODMIN L'YORSHEI HA'RISHONAH (KEUSVAS BENIN DICHRIN)
One of the stipulations of marriage that is imposed by Beis Din and that is
written explicitly in the Kesuvah (the Jewish marriage contract) is called
"Kesuvas Benin Dichrin." If the wife dies before her husband, her sons
inherit the full value of her Kesuvah after he dies (and not the sons of his
other wives), aside from the remainder of the estate (which is divided
equally among all of the sons).

4) [line 4] L'INTZUYEI - that this will arouse a fight, an argument
5) [line 7] KESUVAH NA'ASEIS MOSAR L'CHAVERTAH
(a) Kesuvas Benin Dichrin only takes effect if there are assets in the
father's estate worth at least a Dinar ("Mosar Dinar") that can be
apportioned according to the Torah laws of inheritance. If not, all of the
sons share all of the assets equally. If a man's two wives die during his
lifetime, his estate must contain at least an extra Dinar above and beyond
the value of the two Kesuvos.
(b) If, however, one of the husband's wives dies during his lifetime and the
other passes away after his death (Achas b'Chayav v'Achas b'Moso), there does
not have to be an extra Dinar in the estate. The sons of both wives inherit
the value of the second Kesuvah and pay it as a debt to the sons of the
second wife. As such, the Torah laws of inheritance are not circumvented. The
value of the second Kesuvah is considered the "Mosar" needed to insure that
the sons of the first wife collect the value of the first Kesuvah through the
Halachah of Kesuvas Benin Dichrin.
6) [line 8] MOSAR DINAR - see previous entry, (a)
*7*) [line 14] L'NACHALAH KETANI - (this argument alone suffices to refute
all *three* of the proofs that the Gemara mentioned earlier, since according
to this interpretation our Mishnah is not discussing Benin Dichrin at all --
TOSFOS DH v'Hacha)
8) [line 22] ASHKACHTINHU - I found them
