2)[line 9]שבותSHEVUS
(a)A Shevus is an action prohibited by the Chachamim on Shabbos or Yom Tov. The Torah states "... uva'Yom ha'Shevi'i Tishbos" - "... and you shall rest on the seventh day" (Shemos 23:12). The Rabanan understood this to apply even to actions that are not Melachos, and as a result they prohibited actions that are permitted mid'Oraisa (see Shabbos 114b). The term "Shevus" is derived from the word "Tishbos" in the Pasuk.

c)[line 15]הא ר' נחמיהHA REBBI NECHEMYAH- this [Beraisa which states that one may use neither complete vessels nor broken ones expresses the opinion of] Rebbi Nechemyah [who maintains that vessels may not be used for any purpose other than their designated one]
5)[line 16]אין פוחתין את הנרEIN POCHASIN ES HA'NER- one may not a) form a piece of clay into the shape of an oil lamp [even though it is not suitable to hold liquids until it is fired in a kiln] (RASHI); b) remove the filling (e.g. straw) from the inside of an earthenware lamp (placed there so that it doesn't collapse inward on itself) half way through the firing process (TOSFOS DH Ein)
6)[line 18]פחמיןPECHAMIN- coals
7)[line 18]פתילהPESILAH- a wick
8)[line 20]מנאMANA- a vessel
9)[line 22]משנגמרה מלאכתוMI'SHE'NIGMERAH MELACHTO (GEMIRAS MELACHAH L'KABALAS TUM'AH)
(a)Utensils made of various materials are among the group of items that can become Tamei. They reach this status, however, only after they are complete. This stage is determined by the intention of the artisan fashioning it. When he decides that it is finished, then it is complete. Once having reached the point at which it can receive Tum'ah, however, it dies not lose this status unless an action is performed upon it that demonstrates that it is not yet finished.
(b)Rebbi Meir rules that an earthenware vessel is generally considered complete when it has been formed, even though it has not yet been fired (fully, according to TOSFOS DH Ein) in a kiln. Rebbi Yehudah (alt. Yehoshua) maintains that it is not finished until it is fired. as to whether a finished earthenware utensil needs to be baked in order to be considered complete.

Villagers eat off of the top surface of the pot even before it is separated from the bottom (RABEINU TAM)
14)[line 28]אהל המתOHEL MES (OHEL L'TU'MAH)
(a)When at least a k'Zayis of a dead body or the bones of a Mes are in a covered area which is at least one Tefach in length, width and height (such as in a room of a house), the Ohel (lit. tent) causes all (Jewish) people, vessels, and food which has been Huchshar l'Kabel Tum'ah (see Background to Eruvin 83:1) below it to become Tamei, while at the same time preventing anything above it from becoming Tamei. That is, an Ohel is Mevi Es ha'Tum'ah (spreads the Tum'ah underneath it) and is Chotzetz bi'Fnei ha'Tum'ah (intervenes between the Tum'ah and the space above the Ohel).
(b)In order for bones of a dead body to be Metamei b'Ohel, they must meet at least one of the following three conditions: 1. They constitute a quarter of a Kav (Rova ha'Kav); 2. They are the majority of the human body (this condition is fulfilled whether they are the majority of the build [Rov Binyano] of a body or whether they are the majority of the number [Rov Minyano] of the 248 bones of a body); 3. The bone is either a complete skull or a complete spinal column. This is in contrast to the minimum requirement for a bone to be Metamei through Maga (touching) or Masa (carrying); for these Tum'os it is enough for the bone to be the size of a Se'orah (a grain of barley).
(c)In an Ohel ha'Mes, people, vessels, or food in the Ohel become Tamei even if the Mes only passes through without stopping. One who enters an Ohel ha'Mes becomes Tamei even if only part of his body enters the Ohel, and even if he enters backwards. A Mechitzah (partition) in an Ohel ha'Mes only prevents the spread of Tum'ah if it reaches the ceiling. (RASH to Kelim 1:4)
(d)Only a vessel with a receptacle can become Tamei in a Ohel ha'Mes (Bamidbar 19:15).
15)[line 29]משא הזבMASA HA'ZAV (TUM'AS HESET)
(a)A Tahor person or object moved (or outweighed on a balance scale) by a Zav or Zavah (see Background to Pesachim 66:33) becomes a Rishon l'Tum'ah (see Background to 14:62). This is called Tum'as Heset, and is an application of Tum'as Masa (see Background to Pesachim 66:33:d). Only a Zav, Zavah, Yoledes (see Background to Yoma 55:17), or Nidah (see Background to Pesachim 23:62) can be Metamei people or objects in this manner.
