2a) [line 5] ARZEI - male cedars
b) [line 5] ASHUCHEI - (a) female cedars (RASHI); (b) cypresses (ARUCH);

3) [line 5] MUKTZAH MACHMAS CHISARON KIS
(a) MUKTZAH - The word Muktzah literally means "set aside at the brink [of one's intentions for use]." The term is used to describe items that are set aside not to be used right now, such as wood stacked in a barn. In a broader sense, the word Muktzah includes anything that a person does not intend to use or did not intend to use during Bein ha'Shemashos at the start of Shabbos, for whatever reason it may be.

(b) THE ARGUMENT OF THE TANA'IM - Rebbi Yehudah and Rebbi Shimon argue as to whether one may move or use on Shabbos items that fit into certain categories of Muktzah. There are at least six different categories of Muktzah over which Rebbi Yehudah and Rebbi Shimon disagree [(1) Hiktzehu mi'Da'ato; (2) Nolad; (3) Muktzah Machmas Isur; (4) Muktzah Machmas Mi'us; (5) Keli she'Melachto Eino Ela l'Isur; (6) Muchan l'Adam Eino Muchan l'Kelavim.] On Shabbos, objects that fit into one of these categories may not be moved according to Rebbi Yehudah. There are other categories of Muktzah which may not be moved according to both Rebbi Yehudah and Rebbi Shimon [such as (1) Muktzah Machmas Gufo; (2) Huktzah l'Mitzvaso; (3) Davar she'Eino Ra'uy she'Decha'o b'Ydayim; (4) Davar he'Asur Bein ha'Shemashos she'Lo Chashav she'Yavo l'Ydei Heter b'Shabbos; (5) Muktzah Machmas Chisaron Kis.]

(c) MUKTZAH MACHMAS CHISARON KIS describes items which are easily ruined that a person sets aside not to be used except for their specific purpose. Included in this category are expensive items or tools of a trade. For such items, a person generally designates a place for them to remain throughout Shabbos.

4) [line 7] MIDBARIYOS - pasture animals
5) [line 8] BAYASOS - domestic animals

6) [line 14] MUKTZAH MACHMAS MI'US
(a) MUKTZAH - The word Muktzah literally means "set aside at the brink [of one's intentions for use]." The term is used to describe items that are set aside not to be used right now, such as wood stacked in a barn. In a broader sense, the word Muktzah includes anything that a person does not intend to use or did not intend to use during Bein ha'Shemashos at the start of Shabbos, for whatever reason it may be.

(b) THE ARGUMENT OF THE TANA'IM - Rebbi Yehudah and Rebbi Shimon argue as to whether one may move or use on Shabbos items that fit into certain categories of Muktzah. There are at least six different categories of Muktzah over which Rebbi Yehudah and Rebbi Shimon disagree [(1) Hiktzehu mi'Da'ato; (2) Nolad; (3) Muktzah Machmas Isur; (4) Muktzah Machmas Mi'us; (5) Keli she'Melachto Eino Ela l'Isur; (6) Muchan l'Adam Eino Muchan l'Kelavim.] On Shabbos, objects that fit into one of these categories may not be moved according to Rebbi Yehudah. There are other categories of Muktzah which may not be moved according to both Rebbi Yehudah and Rebbi Shimon [such as (1) Muktzah Machmas Gufo; (2) Huktzah l'Mitzvaso; (3) Davar she'Eino Ra'uy she'Decha'o b'Ydayim; (4) Davar he'Asur Bein ha'Shemashos she'Lo Chashav she'Yavo l'Ydei Heter b'Shabbos; (5) Muktzah Machmas Chisaron Kis.]

(c) MUKTZAH MACHMAS MI'US describes objects that are so disgusting (Mi'us) that people generally do not use them for their original use. Rebbi Yehudah and Rebbi Shimon argue as to their status on Shabbos. Rebbi Yehudah prohibits moving them while Rebbi Shimon permits moving and using them on Shabbos (since they can be used for some secondary minor purpose, such as covering a barrel).

8) [line 20] MASAR HA'GADOL - a large saw (used for cutting beams)
9) [line 20] YASED SHEL MACHAREISHAH - the spike of a plow (used for making furrows)

10) [line 21] MEFIRIN NEDARIM
(a) A man has the right to annul certain vows of his wife and his daughter, as the Torah states in Bamidbar 30:6,9,13,14. He accomplishes this if on the day that he hears the vow he states "Mufar Lach" ("it is annulled"). There is an argument among the Tana'im whether the vow must be annulled before nightfall on the day the husband/father heard it, or before 24 hours pass from when he heard it.

(b) A father may annul the vows of his daughter while she is a minor or Na'arah (when she grows two pubic hairs) until she becomes a Bogeres (six months after she becomes a Na'arah). If the father marries her off when she is a minor, during the period of Eirusin the father *and* the husband must annul the vows for them to be considered annulled. After the period of Nisu'in, the husband may annul the vows and not the father. Nobody may annul the vows of an unmarried *mature* woman. (She must have them revoked by a Beis Din; see next entry.)

11) [line 21] NISH'ALIN LI'NEDARIM
When a person makes a Neder or Nezirus, he may have it revoked by a Beis Din of three (if they are not outstanding authorities) or a Yachid Mumcheh (an outstanding authority). The general method used is that Beis Din investigates whether the one who made the Neder would not have made the Neder in the first place had he been aware of a particular fact.

12) [line 22] POKEKIN ES HA'MA'OR - it is permitted to seal a skylight
14) [line 23] U'MODEDIN ES HA'MATLIS - it is permissible to measure a cloth which first touched a dead Sheretz and then came in contact with Taharos, to determine whether it is at least three Etzba'os by three Etzba'os and was therefore Tamei and was Metamei the Taharos

15) [line 26] TAFI'ACH - a small earthenware pitcher used for drawing water from a well or spring

16) [line 26] MEKEIDAH - a type of earthenware vessel
17) [line 27] GEMI - a reed or bulrush
18) [line 27] GIGIS - a barrel
19) [line 39] ME'ES L'ES - for a period of 24 hours
20) [line 55] D'IZDEKIKU LEI RABANAN - the Chachamim attended [to his vow]
21) [last line] HILKETI KETANAH - a small path between two houses. See Insights
