1)[line 15]מתני לקולאMASNI L'KULA- Rav Shimi taught the previous Sugya (about the Karpaf that is bigger than Beis Se'asayim that was not Hukaf l'Dirah) in a lenient form: (a) Rabah and Rava agree that a pole that is at least three by three Tefachim is effective in reducing the size of the Karpaf; they argue when the pole is smaller. (b) Rabah and Rava agree that a partition that is built at least three Tefachim away from a wall of the Karpaf is effective in making the Karpaf Hukaf l'Dirah; they argue when the partition is built less than three Tefachim away from the wall.
2)[line 27]נכסי הגרNICHSEI HA'GER
(a)When a Jew dies, his closest relatives inherit his estate (according to the hierarchy established by the Torah as recorded in Bamidbar 27:8-11). Since all of the Jews are related to each other (at least through Yakov Avinu and his sons), every Jew must have heirs. A convert, however, may have no heirs (since his non-Jewish relatives do not inherit his estate). When a convert dies without heirs, his estate becomes Hefker (ownerless). The first person who takes possession of his belongings becomes their owner.
(b)In order to take possession of the estate of a convert who dies without any heirs, one must make a Ma'aseh Kinyan, a formal Halachically-binding act denoting the acquisition of any part of the estate, as in all cases of taking possession of items that are Hefker. Depending on what object one is acquiring, different Kinyanim are used. The forms of Kinyan that may be used for the acquisition of the Metaltelin (mobile items) of a Ger are Hagbahah (i.e. lifting the item), Meshichah (i.e. pulling the item or causing it to move) and Chatzer (i.e. bringing the item into one's private domain). The only form of Kinyan that may be used for the acquisition of the land of a Ger is Chazakah (i.e. performing an act that is normally performed only by an owner).
(c)Examples of Chazakah are Na'al (locking), Gadar (fencing in) and Paratz (making a breach in a fence to create an entrance) or any act that is done to enhance the land, such as digging to improve a field and the like (Mishnah Bava Basra 42a).

10a)[line 46]אכסדרה בבקעהACHSADRAH B'BIK'AH- (a) an area in a field that is covered with a roof but is open on all four sides (RASHI); (b) an area in a field that is covered with a roof and is closed on two or three of its sides (TOSFOS)
b)[line 46]בקעהBIK'AH- a plain of open fields
11)[line 47]פי תקרה יורד וסותםPI TIKRA YORED V'SOSEM - The Edge of a Roof Beam Descends and Encloses
(a)The Torah requires Mechitzos (partitions) for various Halachos (e.g. for Reshus ha'Yachid of Shabbos and for Sukah). A Mechitzah must be ten Tefachim high and enclose an area of four by four Tefachim.
(b)When an area is covered by a roof, a Halachah l'Moshe mi'Sinai states that the edge "descends and encloses," even though that side is completely open and has no physical partition. We may consider the area enclosed for Halachic purposes (see Insights to Eruvin 25:2).
(c)Rav and Shmuel argue as to how many of the four partitions of an area may be enclosed by using Pi Tikrah (see Insights ibid.).

12)[line 2]דעבדה כי אורזילאD'AVDAH KI URZILA- (a) he built its roof on a slant (RASHI); (b) according to the Girsa D'AVDAH KI ARSELA - he made it like a hammock; i.e. it is open on all four sides (TOSFOS DH Hacha)
13)[line 6]רבי שמעוןREBBI SHIM'ON (ECHAD GAGOS V'ECHAD CHATZEIROS V'ECHAD KARPIFOS RESHUS ECHAD HEN)
(a)King Shlomo decreed that transferring objects from a Reshus ha'Yachid owned by one person or group to a Reshus ha'Yachid owned by another person or group is forbidden, unless an Eruv Chatzeiros is created on Friday, before Shabbos begins (Shabbos 14b, Eruvin 21b).
(b)Besides houses, there are three categories of Reshus ha'Yachid: Gagos (privately owned roofs), Chatzeiros (jointly owned courtyards) and Karpifos (private fenced-in areas that are used for storage or corrals, but not lived in). Tana'im argue as to whether it is permitted to carry from one of these types of Reshus ha'Yachid to another, even if they have different owners. Rebbi Meir (Mishnah Eruvin 89a) rules that it is prohibited to transfer between these different types of Reshuyos. Rabanan (ibid., and Gemara 91a) prohibit transferring from a Karpaf to one of the other two, and Rebbi Shimon (ibid.) rules that it is permitted to transfer between these Reshuyos. (All of these opinions agree that it is prohibited to carry from houses to courtyards or Karpifos, or to roofs and houses owned by another person, since houses are used on a very regular basis and are therefore considered separate from all other Reshuyos ha'Yachid. -Rashi to Eruvin 91a DH v'Karpifos.)
(c)The above argument applies only to utensils that were in a roof, courtyard, or Karpaf when Shabbos begins. Utensils that were in a house when Shabbos begins and were taken out on Shabbos to a Chatzer through the use of an Eruv Chatzeiros, may not be transferred to one of the other two Reshuyos even according to Rebbi Shimon.
