6)

(a) Our Mishnah rules that if a dyer burns the wool that he has been given to dye, he must pay for the wool.
Why does the Tana not obligate him to pay the Sh'vach, like he does in the following case?

(b) If he succeeded in dyeing the wool, but made a poor job of it, under which circumstances does the owner pay the dyer ...

  1. ... his expenses?
  2. ... the Sh'vach (the amount that the wool increased in value due to the dyeing?
(c) Why does the dyer not pay the owner for his wool, like he did in the previous case?
7)
(a) According to Rebbi Meir, if the owner gave the dyer the wool in order to dye it red and he dyed it black, or vice-versa, the dyer pays for the wool, as we have already learned a number of times.
Why is that?

(b) What does Rebbi Yehudah say?

(c) Seeing as Rebbi Yehudah too, agrees that Shinuy is Koneh, on what basis does he argue with Rebbi Yehudah?

8) We learned in our Mishnah that, if the dyer made a poor job of the dyeing, then he pays the lesser of the improvement of the wool and the dyer's expenses. Rav Nachman Amar Rabah bar Shmuel explains the Lashon 'Tzav'o Ka'ur' to mean Kalbus, which the latter explained as 'Kafra Dudi'.
What does 'Kufra Dudi' mean?
