As such, the Mishnah employs the phrase, "We do not live from her words," i.e. we cannot assume that her words are the truth -- TOSFOS REBBI AKIVA EIGER, quoting TALMIDEI RABEINU YONAH, cited in the SHITAH MEKUBETZES. The TIFERES YISRAEL brings the Gemara Sanhedrin 97a, that tells of a place called Kushta, the inhabitants of which live long lives because they never tell lies. The word Kushta also means truth. Accordingly, the Mishnah hints that we will not live long lives because of her words, since she may be lying.) 4) [line 20] KEREISAH BEIN SHINEHA - (lit. her stomach is between her teeth) she is pregnant, i.e. she does not have the liberty to make an alternate claim that she never had relations 5) [line 28] MUKAS ETZ - a woman who has lost her virginity (through means other than relations) 6) [line 29] DERUSAS ISH - a woman who has lost her virginity due to relations with another man 7) [line 38] NISTACHFAH SADEHU - (lit. his field was washed out) it is your bad Mazal that caused me to be raped 8) [line 48] EIN SHOR SHACHUT LEFANECHA - (lit. there is no slaughtered ox in front of you) there is no undeniable evidence at hand.
