1) [line 8] NE'EMAR BERACHAH L'MATAH - that is, a curse was written below, regarding people

2) [line 16] MISHUM PEGAM MISHPACHAH - because of the taint of the family (so that people should not say that their family produced a Chalal)

3) [line 24] CHALITZAH
(a) If a married man dies childless, his widow may not marry whomever she pleases. She first must undergo Yibum (levirate marriage, that is, she must marry her dead husband's brother), as the Torah states in Devarim 25:5-10. If the deceased had more than one brother, there is a preference for the oldest brother to perform Yibum (Yevamos 24a).
(b) If the brother chooses not to marry her, he must perform Chalitzah (a procedure in Beis Din that absolves her of the Mitzvah of Yibum). He appears before a Beis Din of three and states, "I do not want to marry her," after which his sister-in-law approaches him before the elders, takes off his right sandal and spits in front of him. She then declares, "This is what shall be done to the man who will not build up a family for his brother," and she is then free to marry whomever she wants.
(c) The nebulous state of the widow until a brother performs with her Yibum or Chalitzah is termed "Zikah". If she accepts Kidushin from someone during this period, despite the fact that it is forbidden to do so, the Amora'im argue as to whether the Kidushin is legally binding or not (Yevamos 92b).
