1) [line 1] HAMARAS DAS - (a) change of religion, apostasy; (b) one who worships a foreign god (RAMBAM Korban Pesach 9:7)

2) [line 26] GIV'ONI MAHUL - the name of a nation that practices circumcision (some editions have the Girsa "*GIVNONI* MAHUL." Note: the Gemara is referring to Nochrim, and not to the Giv'onim who became known as Nesinim, who converted to Judaism.)

*3*) [line 28] V'ASUR B'MULEI OVDEI KOCHAVIM - (The reason that a Neder not to benefit from "Arelim" prohibits one to derive benefit from circumcised Nochrim is not just because *people* call circumcised Nochrim "Arelim." It is because the *Torah* refers to them as "Arelim" -- TOSFOS and Rishonim. On the other hand, the reason the Neder does not prohibit him to derive benefit from uncircumcised Jews is not because the *Torah* calls them "Mulim." To the contrary, the Torah calls them "Arelim" and prohibits them to eat Terumah. Rather, it is because *people* call them "Mulim," as RASHI (DH b'Arlei) explains.)

4) [line 32] L'HATIF - (lit. to cause to drip or flow) to extract blood from the place of the Milah

6) [line 39] ARELUS SHE'LO BI'ZEMANAH ME'AKVA O LO ME'AKVA? - Does having a foreskin before eight days have elapsed, i.e. before there is a Mitzvah of Milah, prevent one from eating Terumah?

9) [last line] V'NIMHALEI MI'TZAFRA? - If so, then the newborn boy should be circumcised in the morning!?

20) [line 20] HAZA'AH
If a person (or utensil) became Tamei through touching a Mes, he must wait seven days to become Tahor. On the third and seventh days he must have spring water mixed with the ashes of the Parah Adumah (Mei Chatas) sprinkled on him. A person who is Tahor dips three Ezov branches that have been bound together into the mixture, and sprinkles them on the person who is Tamei.
