FOOTNOTES:
==========
 (1) "Hagashah" is the act of bringing the Minchah towards the south-west corner of the Mizbe'ach, until the vessel holding the Minchah touches the Mizbe'ach. When the Minchah requires both Tenufah and Hagashah, the Tenufah is performed before the Hagashah (Menachos 61a).
(2) The part which is not eaten (for some types of Minchah offering, this is only the Kometz, and for other types, this is the entire Minchah) is burned upon the Mizbe'ach.
(3) The Minchas Nesachim is comprised of Soles (for the Minchah) and wine (for the Nesachim, the libations), and it is brought with every Korban Olah, Shelamim, and Todah. It is also brought with a Chatas Metzora and with an Asham Metzora. The quantity of the oil and flour used in the Minchas Nesachim depends on the type of animal with which it is being offered.
(4) The Minchas ha'Omer is offered on the second day of Pesach, on the sixteenth of Nisan.
(5) The Omer is comprised of finely sifted barley flour ("Geres"), which has been sifted through thirteen sieves.
(6) The Shtei ha'Lechem is brought with the Kivsei Atzeres on Shavuos.
(7) The Shtei ha'Lechem require Tenufah together with the Kivsei Atzeres.
(8) Kemitzah and Haktarah are not performed on the Shtei ha'Lechem, because they Chametz and it is prohibited to bring any leaven upon the Mizbe'ach (Vayikra 2:12).
(9) The two Bezichei Levonah, which are placed on the Shulchan with the Lechem ha'Panim, are offered on the Mizbe'ach when the Lechem ha'Panim is removed from the Shulchan.
(10) This is the Korban Chatas that is brought by an extremely poor person for the sins of Tum'as Mikdash v'Kodashav, Shevu'as Bituy, and Shevu'as ha'Edus (Vayikra 5:11).
(11) However, if the Minchah belongs to a either a Kohen or the wife of a Kohen it is not eaten, but rather the entire Minchah is burned (Vayikra 6:16, Sotah 23a).
(12) The Gemara in Sotah (14a) states that "since she did an act of an animal, therefore her Korban is comprised of food for an animal (barley)." The Minchas Sotah is not brought finely ground ("Geres"), but rather as unsifted flour ("Kemach") that still includes unwanted parts of the barley stalk.
(13) The Minchas Chavitin (which is also referred to as the Minchas Kohen Gadol, or the Minchas Kohen Mashi'ach) is brought by the Kohen Gadol every day. Half of it is offered with the Korban Tamid of the morning and half with the Korban Tamid of the evening. The Minchas Chinuch is brought by every Kohen upon the commencement of his service in the Beis ha'Mikdash. The laws of the two are identical (Vayikra 6:13).
(14) Forty loaves, comprised of ten loaves of four different types, are brought with the Korban Todah. The four types are Chalos Matzos (Matzos mixed with oil), Rekikin (flat Matzos saturated with oil), Revuchah (or "Soles Murbeches," Matzos made of boiled flour mixed with oil), and Chametz (loaves of leavened bread) (Vayikra 7:12-13).
Twenty loaves, comprised of ten loaves of two different types (Chalos Matzos and Rekikin), are brought with the Ayil of Shelamim of the Nazir (Bamidbar 6:15).
The Ayil of the Milu'im was offered by Moshe Rabeinu during the seven days of the Milu'im, and it was accompanied by thirty loaves, ten each of Chalos Matzos, Rekikin, and Revuchah (Shemos 29, Vayikra 8).
From all of these three sets of Menachos, one loaf of every type is separated as "Terumah." The Terumas Lachmei Todah and Nazir are eaten by the Kohanim, and the Terumas ha'Milu'im was burned (Shemos 29:23, and Rashi there).
(15) Only the Lachmei *Terumah* requires Tenufah (see previous footnote). They are waved together with the Chazeh, Shok, and fats of the Korban.
(16) The exception to this are the loaves of Chametz of the Lachmei Todah, which do not require Shemen.
(17) The exception to this are the loaves of Terumas ha'Milu'im, which were burned and not eaten (Shemos 29:23), as mentioned above. The Terumas Lachmei Todah and Nazir are eaten by Kohanim, and all of the other loaves may be eaten even by non-Kohanim, male and female alike (this is in contrast to all other Menachos, which have the status of Kodshei Kodashim and may be eaten only by male Kohanim). Even the Lachmei Nazir and Lachmei Todah of a Kohen (and the loaves of the Milu'im, which were a Korban owned by Aharon ha'Kohen) are eaten, unlike all other Menachos offered by Kohanim (see above, footnote #11). The Rambam (in his introduction to Menachos) proves from this latter Halachah that the Torah does not include Lachmei Todah and Nazir in the category of Menachos. When the Mishnah or Gemara uses the term "Minchah" in reference to them, it is merely a borrowed term.
(18) The Minchas Ma'afeh Tanur is brought either from Chalos Matzos, or from Rekikin (Vayikra 2:4). According to Rebbi Shimon, it may also be brought half from Matzos and half from Rekikin (Menachos 59a).
The Minchas Machavas and Minchas Marcheshes are comprised of Chalos Matzos, and the Minchas Soles is brought as Soles, fine flour (and it is baked after the Kemitzah).
(19) Rebbi Shimon maintains that the Minchas Kohen Mashi'ach and the Minchas Chinuch do not require Hagashah (since they are entirely burned as mentioned above, footnote #11, and he maintains that a Minchah which is burned does not require Hagashah).
