1) [line 2] SHIBOLIN - ears of wheat
2) [line 7] D'TAVLA B'YOMEI - that they (the ears of wheat) become Tevel on that day
3) [line 8] KITNIYOS - legumes
4) [line 9] ASURYASA TAVLA - once they are in bundles, they are Tevel

7) [line 11] MECHASHEV - estimates
8) [line 18] V'TA'AM ETZO U'FIRYO SHAVEH - the taste of its stem and of its fruit is the same

9) [line 25] TERUMAS MA'ASER
(a) After a crop is harvested and brought to the owner's house or yard, he must separate Terumah from the crop and give it to a Kohen. Although the Torah does not specify the amount to be given, the Rabanan set the requirement at one fiftieth of the total crop. After Terumah is removed from the produce, one tenth of the produce that remains must be designated "Ma'aser Rishon," and given to a Levi. The Levi, in turn, must separate one tenth of his Ma'aser Rishon as Terumas Ma'aser, to be given to a Kohen, as it states in Bamidbar 18:26.
(b) The produce may not be eaten until both Terumos have been removed. The punishment for eating Tevel is Misah b'Yedei Shamayim.

10) [line 27] SHE'HIKDIMO B'SHIBOLIN
(a) By Torah Law, a person is required to tithe his grain only if he harvests it in a normal manner. This includes removing the chaff in the field, piling up the grain there and bringing it through the front door of his house (Berachos 35b). He is then required to tithe his grain; it becomes "Hukba l'Ma'aser" (designated for tithing).
(b) He first separates Terumah Gedolah from the crop and gives it to a Kohen. Although the Torah does not specify the amount to be given, the Rabanan set the requirement at one fiftieth of the total crop. After Terumah is removed from the produce, one tenth of the produce that remains must be designated "Ma'aser Rishon," and given to a Levi. The Levi, in turn, must separate one tenth of his Ma'aser Rishon as Terumas Ma'aser, to be given to a Kohen, as it states in Bamidbar 18:26.
(c) If a Levi came to the field and claimed the Ma'aser Rishon from the stalks *before* the grain was processed and separated from the stalks, the requirement to give Terumah Gedolah is canceled, as Reish Lakish (see Gemara 13b) proves from the wording of the verse (ibid.).
(d) However, if a Levi came to the field and claimed the Ma'aser Rishon from the Kri (the pile of grain which was already processed and separated from the stalks), he must give Terumah Gedolah to a Kohen from his portion. The requirement to give Terumah Gedolah is already present as soon as the produce is classified as Dagan (it is processed), as the verse (Devarim 18:4) states, "Reishis *Degancha* ... Titen Lo" - "You should give him the first [part that you separate] from your produce."

11) [line 28] SHEMO TOVLO - it's name, "Ma'aser Rishon," makes it Tevel, creating an obligation to separate Terumas Ma'aser (and one who eats it receives Misah b'Ydei Shamayim)

12) [line 31] OSEH OSAN GOREN - he threshes and processes them into a pile of wheat

13a) [line 1] GOREN - [a pile of wheat on] the threshing floor
b) [line 1] YEKEV - [wine from] the pit that collects the juice from the wine-press
14) [line 5] "V'NECHSHAV LACHEM TERUMASCHEM; KA'DAGAN MIN HA'GOREN, VECHA'MELE'AH MIN HA'YAKEV." - "Your gifts shall be considered for you like grain from the threshing-floor and like the ripeness (wine) of the wine- collection pit." (Bamidbar 18:27)

*15a*) [line 8] B'OMED - by estimation
*b*) [line 8] B'MACHSHAVAH - (a) Terumah takes effect even if it is *not separated physically* from the rest of the produce (e.g. if he labels as Terumah either a specific part, or a portion that will be clarified later (through Bereirah), but leaves it together with the rest of the produce) (RASHI Bechoros 59a); (b) Tosfos adds that Terumah may be pronounced in one's mind (*rather than verbally*) (see TOSFOS ibid. DH b'Machshavah)

16) [line 13, 18] SHE'HIKDIMO B'SHIBOLIN, SHE'HIKDIMO BA'KRI
See above, entry #10

17) [line 21] IDGAN - this one (the Kri), was heaped into a pile, classifying it as Dagan, which necessitates separating *Terumah Gedolah*, as the verse (Devarim 18:4) states regarding Terumah Gedolah, "Reishis *Degancha* ... Titen Lo" - "You should give him the first [part that you separate] from your produce"

18) [line 21] HA'MEKALEF - (a) one who peels the outer covering (husk) of barley (RASHI); (b) one who peels the inner covering (chaff) of barley (TOSFOS DH v'Im)

19) [line 24] KASEI KASEI - cupfuls
20) [line 34] EIZEHU GORNAN L'MA'ASER? - at what stage are certain crops considered completed (like a pile of wheat on the threshing floor) to the extent that Terumos and Ma'asros must be separated?

21a) [line 34] KISHU'IN - cucumbers
b) [line 34] DELU'IN - gourds
22) [line 35] MISHE'YIPAKSU - when the flower at the end falls off

24) [line 38] MELECHES MACHSHEVES ASRAH TORAH
The Torah only forbids actions performed on Shabbos with intent; not actions that were performed accidentally.
