1) [line 4] B'MAI MUKMAS LEI? - to what [Av Melachah] would you have said it (the word "v'Shilach") is referring?

2a) [line 6] HA D'MECHALYA KARNA - one refers to a case where the principle is destroyed (e.g. the plants were eaten along with their roots and will not grow back)
b) [line 6] HA'D'LO MECHALYA KARNA - (a) one refers to a case where the principle is not destroyed (e.g. the plants were eaten but not their roots, and they will grow back, albeit not as they were initially) (RASHI); (b) one refers to a case where the animal only dirtied the fruits (for its own benefit) (TOSFOS)

3) [line 24] "V'SHEN BEHEMOS ASHALECH BAM" - "I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them" (Devarim 32:24)

4) [line 27] SHEKULIN HEN, VE'YAVO'U SHNEIHEM, D'HAI MINAIHU MAFKAS? - It is *equally* reasonable to learn either of these laws from the verse, so we assume that the verse means to teach us *both* of them, rather than just one to the exclusion of the other, for which one would you exclude?

5a) [line 30] NISCHACHECHAH B'KOSEL - the animal rubbed itself against a wall
b) [line 31] TINFAH PEIROS - the animal dirtied fruits
6a) [line 37] SHELIF - the load on it
b) [line 38] PERUMBEYA - the bit
c) [line 38] ZOG - bell

7) [line 44] "...VEHA'MES YIHEYEH LO." - "[The owner of the pit shall make restitution, and give money to its (the animal's) owner; and the carcass shall be his (the owner's, as partial payment)." (Shemos 21:34)

8) [line 4] MAMONCHA - your possession
9) [line 11] ADAM MU'AD L'OLAM - an intelligent adult who inflicts damages always pays [in full] as a "Mu'ad" (one who is expected to inflict damage)

10) [line 12] KICHO V'NI'O - his phlegm and mucus (RASHI to Nidah 55b). (a) Kicho is brought up as a result of a coughing sickness [O.F. tos - cough] (RASHI to Eruvin 99a); (b) one is brought up from the chest with force and the other does not need as much force to bring up into the throat (TOSFOS Nidah 55b)

11) [line 18] RU'ACH METZUYAH - a normal-strength wind

12) [line 24] CHATZI NEZEK TZEROROS
(a) If one's animal caused damage to another person's property in an indirect manner -- that is, with the force of its body but without its body coming into contact with the damaged item, such as by walking and kicking up pebbles that -- through their ballistic action caused by the force of the animal's body -- caused damage, the owner is obligated to pay restitution for the damage.
(b) The Tana'im argue what the extent of the owner's liability is in such a case (Bava Kama 17b). Sumchus maintains that he is obligated to pay for the full damage (Nezek Shalem). The Rabanan maintain that there is a Halachah l'Moshe mi'Sinai that the owner is obligated to pay for only half of the damage (Chatzi Nezek).

13a) [line 25] D'HILCHESA GEMIREI LAH - we know it from the tradition that Moshe received on Mount Sinai, i.e. it is a Halachah l'Moshe mi'Sinai, that it *only* pays Chatzi Nezek (TOSFOS)

14) [line 25] AMAI KARI LAH TOLDAH D'REGEL? - Why is Tzeroros called a Todah of Regel?

15) [line 26] L'SHALEM MIN HA'ALIYAH - since its owner will pay Idis (the best-quality of land, should he decide to make restitution with land)

16) [line 33] "AMAR SHOMER..." - "The watchman [i.e. Hashem] said, 'The morning [i.e. the Day of Redemption] comes, and also the night [i.e. the Day of Retribution]; if you will but request, request; return [i.e. do Teshuvah], come back.'" (Yeshayah 21:12, as explained by Rashi here)

17) [line 35] "EICH NECHPESU ESAV, NIV'U MATZPUNAV?" - "How Esav has been pillaged! His hidden things sought out!" (Ovadyah 1:6)

18) [line 37] KED'METARGEM RAV YOSEF - like Rav Yosef translated (interpreted) into Aramaic [citing the Targum Yonasan ben Uziel]

19) [line 37] EICHDEIN ISBALISH ESAV, ISGALYAN METAMROHI - see above, entry #18

20a) [line 39] NIV'EH - that which *becomes* revealed
b) [line 40] BO'EH - the one who requests (as opposed to "the one who causes to request")
