1)[line 7]דיתיב אבי תפיD'YASIV A'BEI TAFEI- when it is sitting on the opening of the stove or oven (the hottest part)
2)[line 8]עביד תוך תוךAVID TOCH TOCH- it makes a sound like "Toch" "Toch" (i.e. it is thoroughly cooked)
3)[line 8]הריני כבן עזאי בשוקי טבריאHAREINI K'BEN AZAI B'SHUKEI TEVERYA- (a) I can keenly answer any question put to me, just like Ben Azai who taught Torah in the marketplaces of Teveryah. Ben Azai had a greater power of reasoning than all other sages of his day (RASHI); (b) I am renowned for my knowledge of the laws of Eruvin, just as Ben Azai who was renowned for his wisdom in the marketplaces of Teveryah (RABEINU CHANANEL); (c) I can answer any question put to me, just like Ben Azai did in the marketplaces of Teveryah (RABEINU GERSHOM to Erchin 30b, RASHI to Kidushin 20a)
4)[line 10]תפוחיםTAPUCHIM- (a) apples; (b) wild apples (RITVA)
5)[line 12]לפסול את הגוויהLIFSOL ES HA'GEVIYAH
The Chachamim decreed that a person who eats a half-Pras (2 Beitzim) of food which is Tamei may not eat Terumah. He makes Terumah Pasul if he touches it.
6)[line 12]חצי פרסCHATZI PRAS- half of a loaf of wheat bread; a whole loaf is three (according to Rebbi Yochanan ben Berokah) or four (according to Rebbi Shimon - Eruvin 82b) Beitzim of bread. The Rambam follows the first opinion and Rashi follows the second opinion.
7)[line 13]כביצה לטמא טומאת אוכליםK'VEITZAH L'TAMEI TUMAS OCHLIN (TUM'AS OCHLIN: K'BEITZAH)
(a)All foods become Tamei if they touch a source of Tum'ah, but only after they first become wet. From then on, even after they dry, they can still become Tamei. Seven liquids can enable foods to become Tamei: water, dew, oil, wine, milk, blood, and bee's honey. The minimum amount of food that can become Tamei is a k'Beitzah (RASHI). The modern equivalent of a Beitzah is 0.05, 0.0576 or 0.1 liter, depending upon the differing Halachic opinions.
(b)In order for something edible to receive Tum'as Ochlin, it has to be considered food. A person's intention to eat the item and treat it as a food gives it the status of a food and it can receive Tum'as Ochlin. Once food becomes Tamei, it cannot become Tahor by immersing it in a Mikvah.

b)[line 1]זירתאZEIRTA- (a) the distance between the tips of the thumb and the smallest finger in a spread hand, or half of an Amah, approximately 24 cm (9.45 in) or 28.8 cm (11.34 in), depending upon the differing Halachic opinions (RAMBAM Klei ha'Mikdash 9:6); (b) others say that a Zeres is 1/3 of an Amah, approximately 16 cm (6.3 in) or 19.2 (7.56 in), depending upon the differing Halachic opinions (Rebbi Eliezer ha'Kalir quoted by TOSFOS Eruvin 21a D.H. Echad)
22)[line 3]לא אישתי שיכראLO ISHTI SHICHRA- he did not drink beer
23)[line 5]נחש שבוNACHASH SHE'BO- the poisonous fluid in the onion
24)[line 9]פוסל את המקוהPOSEL ES HA'MIKVAH
(a)Drawn water is called Mayim She'uvin. Only water which never entered a vessel (non-drawn water) may be used to fill a Mikvah.
(b)Once there are already 40 Se'ah of non-drawn water in the Mikvah, drawn water may be added. However, if before there are 40 Se'ah in the Mikvah three Lugim of drawn water fall into it, they render the Mikvah invalid.
25)[line 16]תרין רבעיTREIN RIV'EI (DRY MEASURES) - two quarters of a Kav, i.e. two Lugin
(a) The following is a list of measures of volume used in the Mishnah and Gemara:
1.1 Kor (= 1 Chomer) = 30 Se'in
2.1 Lesech = 15 Se'in
3.1 Eifah = 3 Se'in
4.1 Se'ah = 6 Kabin
5.1 Tarkav (= Trei v'Kav, or 3 Kabin) = 12 Lugin
6.1 Kav = 4 Lugin
7.1 Log (= 1 Rova) = 4 Revi'iyos = 6 Beitzim
8.1 Beitzah = 2 or 3 k'Zeisim, according to the varying opinions
(b)In modern-day measures, the k'Zayis is approximately 0.025, 0.0288 or 0.05 liters, depending upon the differing Halachic opinions. Thus, 1 Log = 0.3, 0.345 or 0.6 liters, according to the various opinions.
26)[line 17]כדי מזיגת הכוסKEDEI MEZIGAS HA'KOS- the amount of undiluted wine necessary such that it will achieve the proper dilution when water is added
27)[line 18]כוס של ברכהKOS SHEL BERACHAH- the cup of wine used for Grace after Meals
28)[line 20]רובע רביעיתROVA REVI'IS- 1/4 of a Revi'is, which in turn is 1/4 of a Log (see Rashi Shabbos 77a DH Tanina)
29)[line 22]כל חמרא דלא דרי על חד תלת מיאKOL CHAMRA D'LO DARI AL CHAD TELAS MAYA- any wine that is not diluted with three parts water to one part wine
30)[line 24]השופכיןHA'SHOFCHIN- foul-smelling water
31)[line 25]הכא נמי, על חד ארבעHACHA NAMI, AL CHAD ARBA- here too, the amount of beer needed for an Eruv should be four times the amount of wine needed for an Eruv. Since Rav said on 29a that we need two measures of a Revi'is (of a Lug) of wine for an Eruv, we would need two Log of beer to make an Eruv
32)[line 28]פניאPANYA- evening
33)[line 28]סמכי עילויהוSAMCHEI ILAVAIHU- it suffices for them
34)[line 31]אכל גרוגרותACHAL GROGEROS (TASHLUMEI TERUMAH: HA'OCHEL TERUMAH B'SHOGEG)
(a)After a crop is harvested and brought to the owner's house or yard, the owner must separate Terumah from the crop, which he gives to a Kohen. Kohanim and members of their households may eat Terumah as long as they are Tehorim.
(b)If a non-Kohen eats Terumah without knowing that it is Terumah, he must replace what he ate in the form of a food that becomes Terumah (Tashlumei Terumah). Food that is already Terumah or Ma'aser, and food that cannot become Terumah, may not be used. He returns the Keren, the amount of Terumah that he ate, to the Kohen who owned the Terumah (see Insights to Pesachim 32:1). In addition, he is fined another Chomesh (fifth) of the ensuing total (i.e. a quarter of the value of what he ate). This Chomesh may be paid to any Kohen (Terumos 6:2), and is not necessarily given to the Kohen who owned the Terumah that was eaten.
(c)If he benefited in an abnormal fashion, such as drinking olive oil, he only pays the value of the object destroyed (i.e., the normal Halachah of damages applies to him.).

52)[last line]בגדי ענייםBIGDEI ANIYIM (MIDRAS)
(a)A Zav, a man who emits Zov two or three times, whether it is emitted in one day or in two or three consecutive days, is an Av ha'Tum'ah. Zov is a clear discharge with the appearance of the white of a sterile or spoiled egg, in contrast with semen, which has the consistency of fresh egg white. Zov can also be a pus-like discharge resembling the liquid from barley dough or soft barley batter.
(b)A woman who has a show of blood for three consecutive days during her 11 days of Zivah, becomes a Zavah Gedolah, and is also an Av ha'Tum'ah.
(c)A Zav and a Zavah, like a Nidah and a Yoledes, can cause objects that are under them to become Avos ha'Tum'ah whether they touch them or not. The objects become Tamei Midras (lit. an object that is treaded upon), otherwise known as Mishkav or Moshav ha'Zav/ha'Zavah (or the Tachton, of a Zav or Zavah.) An object under a Zav or a Zavah becomes a Midras only if it was made for lying, sitting, or leaning upon.
(d)A cloth must be at least three Tefachim square in order to become a Midras. A cloth that is smaller than this is Tahor due to its insignificance. Earthenware objects (Klei Cheres) cannot become Midras.
(e)A person who touches (Maga) or carries (Masa) either a Midras or a Zav or Zavah themselves, along with the clothes he is wearing and other utensils (except for earthenware utensils) that he is touching at the time, get the status of Rishon l'Tum'ah.
(f)Utensils or clothes which lie above the Zav or Zavah also get the status of a Rishon l'Tum'ah, whether they touch them or not. These are called the Elyon of a Zav or Zavah.
