10) [line 16] REI'USA - imperfections; with regard to parchment, holes

12) [line 19] RETZU'OS SHECHOROS - black straps
13) [line 20] B'MINAN - with their own type of material, i.e. leather

25) [line 37] AGULAH SAKANAH - the Titura (the base of the Tefilah Shel Rosh) must not be rounded on its underside, because of the danger that a sudden blow to the Tefilin may pierce the skull of the person wearing it, due to the concentrated pressure on the point of the head that contains the seam of the closure of the fontanel

RASHI brings two cases to explain the concept of Zeh she'Lo Keneged Zeh: (a) the first and the third compartments each have a hole in them, but not the second; (b) there are two holes in different indentations between the compartments; two holes in the same indentation invalidate the Tefilin

48) [line 17] MASLIS LEHU - he braided them like a chain

50) [line 19] KESHER SHEL TEFILIN - the knot shaped like a letter "Dales" of the Tefilah Shel Rosh (RASHI)

51) [line 20] V'NOYEIHEN L'VAR - and their beauty [should be visible] to the outside: (a) the Name of HaSh-m should be visible, and the knot should not be hidden (RASHI, 1st explanation); (b) and the side of the straps painted black should be turned towards the outside (RASHI, 2nd explanation)
