***************GIRSA SECTION********************
We recommend using the textual changes suggested by the Bach, Rav B. Rensburg and the parenthetical marginal notes of the Vilna Shas. This section is devoted to any *OTHER* changes that we feel ought to be made in Gemara, Rashi or Tosfos.)

[1] Gemara 62b [line 32]:
The words "Haloch v'Tafof, she'Hayu Mehalchos"
should be "Haloch v'Tafof *Telachnah*, she'Hayu Mehalchos" (Dikdukei Sofrim #200)
************************************************

1) [line 3] MECHUPAH OR - [a Kamei'a] which is covered with leather
2) [line 6] MISHUM SHIN - [it is forbidden] because of the "Shin" [that projects from the Tefilin Shel Rosh]

3) [line 11] ZARDA - (O.F. bronie) armor; suit of mail
4) [line 11] SANVARTA - a leather cap worn under a metal helmet

10) [line 23] MACHNISAN ZUG ZUG - he brings them into the city wearing them one set at a time

11) [line 25] LAILAH ZEMAN TEFILIN HU / SHABBOS ZEMAN TEFILIN HU
(a) Mitzvos which must be performed at a specific time of the day are called Mitzvos Aseh sheha'Zeman Geraman. Some examples are Sukah, Lulav, Shofar and Tzitzis. Women are exempt from these Mitzvos, with the exception of Kidush on Friday night, Matzah on Pesach night, the Korban Pesach, Hakhel and Simchah on Pesach, Shavu'os and Sukos.
(b) Since Rebbi Meir rules that Tefilin should be worn on Shabbos and at night, also, they do not have the status of a Mitzvas Aseh sheha'Zeman Gerama. In that case, women are obligated to wear Tefilin. The Halachah follows the opinion that they should not be worn on Shabbos or at night. Women, therefore, are exempt, as in all Mitzvos Aseh sheha'Zeman Geraman.

13) [line 27] KELE'ACHAR YAD
Whenever a Melachah of Shabbos is done in an abnormal fashion, the transgressor is not liable to the d'Oraisa punishments. He is said to have done the Melachah kel'Achar Yad (lit. using the back of the hand.)
