[1] Rashi 47b DH Lo Nitzrecha ã"ä ìà ðöøëà:
The words "d'Veno ha'Rishon... Beno ha'Acharon" ãáðå øàùåï... áðå äàçøåï
should be "d'Vnei ha'Rishon... Bnei ha'Acharon" ãáðé äøàùåï... áðé äàçøåï (RASHASH)

1)[line 25]àìà ìàå, îâø ùäéå ìå áðéíELA LAV, MI'GER SHE'HAYU LO BANIM- rather, the child came from a Ger who had children. That is, the Mishnah is not discussing a man with no children who married a Giyores with children. Rather, it is discussing a Ger and Giyores who had children before they converted and then had more children after they converted.
2)[line 42]àéï îæäîéï àú äåìãEIN MEZAHAMIN ES HA'VLAD- we do not declare the child unfit because he is the child of a Nochri (see Insights)
3)[line 55]àé áòéì ìä äåéà æøäIY BA'IL LAH HAVYA ZARAH - if the Nochri has relations with her, she becomes a Chalalah and forfeits all the laws of the Kehunah (CHALALAH)

4)[line 1]çììCHALAL - the son of a woman who was prohibited to be married to a Kohen, rendering him a Chalal (CHALAL)
(a)The Torah (Vayikra 21:14) commands a Kohen Gadol not to marry a widow (Almanah), divorcee (Gerushah), prostitute ("Zonah" — see Background to Kidushin 77:17) or Chalalah. An ordinary Kohen (Hedyot) is permitted to marry a widow, but not any of the other women listed above. The child from one of the above-mentioned unions is invalidated from the Kehunah, and is called a "Chalal" or "Chalalah" (fem.). The Rabanan also prohibited all Kohanim from marrying a Chalutzah (see Background to Sanhedrin 18:2a), and made the children of a Kohen from a Chalutzah into Chalalim mid'Rabanan.
(b)A Kohen who marries one of the women who are forbidden to him is liable to Malkus (lashes) (RAMBAM Hilchos Isurei Bi'ah 17:2). The Kohen himself does not become a Chalal as a result of the union (Rambam ibid. 19:1). However, he may not perform the Avodah of the Beis ha'Mikdash until he makes a vow not to marry these women again (and divorces the prohibited woman) (Bechoros 45b, Rambam Hilchos Bi'as ha'Mikdash 6:9).
(c)A Chalal may not serve in the Beis ha'Mikdash, and according to some sources he is Chayav Misah b'Yedei Shamayim if he does (MINCHAS CHINUCH 275:5). A Chalal does not eat Terumah or the Kodshim reserved for Kohanim (Terumos 8:1), and is not restricted with regard to the women that he is allowed to marry. Chalalim are not prohibited from coming into contact with corpses. Chalalim are not considered Kohanim with regard to the other privileges and restrictions pertaining to Kohanim, as well.
