(That is, if one soaks Chiltis in warm water, it is clear that he is preparing it as a curative (RAN) or that he is involved in preparing food in a weekday manner (RASHI DH She'lo Ya'aseh), which is prohibited. If he dips it into vinegar, though, it looks as though he is simply eating it.)

*48*) [line 7] HA'OMED B'EMTZA HA'MITAH - It is not clear why this statement is interjected at this point (RASHASH). It is possible that it is related to the subject discussed at the end of the Sugya (before the Mishnah), which discusses modesty. The Gemara rejects Rav Ketina's statement because people are usually modest in these matters, and therefore standing on a bed does not give rise to improper thoughts. It is still a mystery why the statement of Rav Ketina is quoted here, and not at the end of the Sugya. (Perhaps it was done in order to be modest.) (M. Kornfeld)

49) [line 8] LIZBIN ARICHA - he should buy a long bunch
50) [line 9] KISHA KI KISHA V'URKA MIMEILA - each bunch has the same circumference, and as such the longer bunches contain more of the vegetable (lit. a bunch is a bunch and the [extra] length comes gratis)

*73*) [line 32] AD D'MITZTA'ARAN V'HADAR ACHAVI LEHU - The CHIDUSHEI HA'RAN and RITVA interpret this as follows: Rav Chisda once decided to teach his daughters the value of Tzeniyus. He walked in the house with his hands clenched. He opened one of them to reveal a jewel, but held the other clenched. The attention of his daughters was diverted from the beautiful jewel, as they pleaded with him to show them what he had hidden in the other hand. He opened the other hand to reveal a coal. In this manner he taught them that what is hidden, is more highly valued. (This complements Rashi's explanation; RITVA.)

74) [line 34] GORFIN - it is permissible to clear aside dirt
75) [line 34] PATAM - an ox which is being fattened

77) [line 38] EIVUS - a feeding stall or trough
78) [last line] RIREI - dripping saliva
