20) [line 49] MECHEZEI K'SHIKRA - it appears to be a lie, i.e. a false document

21) [line 51] KESIVAH LI'SHEMAH - Writing a Get for her sake
(a) The Torah states (Devarim 24:1) that if a man wants to divorce his wife, he must write a Sefer Kerisus (a document that cuts [the bond between them]) and hand it to her in front of two witnesses. In the language of Chazal, this document of divorce is called a Get (pl. - Gitin.)
(b) A Get must contain the full names of the pair involved in the divorce, the places where they are to be found at the time of the writing (or where they live, or where they were born, according to some), and the date and place where the Get is written. If any of these items is missing or mistaken ("Shinah Shemo u'Shemah"), the Get is invalid.
(c) A Get must be written for the sake of the woman who is to be divorced, as is learned from the verse in the Torah, "v'Kasav *Lah* Sefer Kerisus" - "and he must write *for her* a bill of divorce" (Devarim 24:1). The scribe must therefore write at least: 1. the name of the wife; 2. the name of the husband; 3. the place; and 4. the words "Harei At Muteres l'Chol Adam" -- "You are hereby free to marry whomever you wish" -- with the intention that this Get will be used to divorce this specific woman (see RAMBAM Hilchos Gerushin 3:7).

30) [line 25] L'TUVYA AMAR; L'RAV TUVYA LO AMAR - he instructed [that his possessions should be given] to Tuvya; not to Rav Tuvya

31) [line 26] D'GIS BEI - that he is very congenial with him, such that he does not use his title

32) [line 30] SHUDA D'DAINEI - (a) the estimate of the judges as to with whom the deceased was closer or who of the two is the more upright individual such that *the deceased* would have intended that he inherit his possessions (RASHI); (b) the opinion of *the judges* as to which of the two should get the possessions (TOSFOS, citing Rabeinu Tam)

33) [line 35] KERIVASEI D'RAV NACHMAN - a relative of Rav Nachman

34) [line 35] TOVAS HANA'AH - a goodwill benefit
(a) The words "Tovas Hana'ah" denote the trivial benefit (in terms of pleasure or compensation) that a person receives in return for giving away an object or goods to which he has only very limited rights.
(b) A common example of this is selecting a particular individual to be the recipient of a gift that he is obligated to bestow to others. For example, Terumah must be given to a Kohen, and Ma'aser to a Levi. The Tovas Hana'ah of a Yisrael who separates Terumah or Ma'aser from his produce is the right to give the Terumah or Ma'aser to the Kohen or Levi of his choice.
(c) Another example is selling an object to which one will not have full rights until a later date, or to which one may never gain full rights. For example, a woman only receives a Kesuvah from her husband if the husband dies before her or divorces her. She may sell her rights to collect the Kesuvah for Tovas Hana'ah. Since the possibility exists the she will die before her husband and the purchaser will not receive the Kesuvah, the Tovas Hana'ah of the Kesuvah is worth much less than the Kesuvah itself.

35) [last line] LEIKA D'LISVA LAH ETZAH? - Is there no one who will give her advice?
