1)[line 1]חבראCHAVRA/CHABARA- a member of the Chavrei/Chabarei: (a) a Persian nation (RASHI to Shabbos 11a); (b) a nation that lived at the time of the Persian dynasty (RASHI to Shabbos 45a); (c) a nation that came to Bavel at the time of Rebbi Yochanan and that lived under the rule of the Sassinid Persians (TOSFOS Shabbos 11a DH v'Lo Tachas Chaver); (d) Persian priests who were very wicked towards the Jews (ARUCH, TOSFOS Shabbos 11a DH v'Lo Tachas Chaver in the name of RABEINU YAKOV MI'KURVIL). The Persians were initially tolerant towards other religions, including the Jews (treating them even better than the Babylonians did) and they employed Jews in all levels of government and society. Later, the Persians adopted the religion of Zoroastrianism, worshipping light and dark, and became less tolerant of the Jews, at times persecuting them.

11)[last line]פירותPEIROS (NICHSEI MILUG)
A woman brings into her marriage two types of possessions, as follows:
1.Possessions that the wife owned before marriage, the values of which were estimated and written in the Kesuvah, to be returned to her in full upon divorce or the husband's death. These are called Nichsei Tzon Barzel ("Iron Flock Properties") because their value does not change between the time of marriage and the time of divorce or the husband's death.
2.Possessions that were not estimated and their values were not specified in the Kesuvah. Upon divorce or the husband's death, the property is returned as is, regardless of its appreciation or depreciation (or deterioration) over the years. These are referred to as Nichsei Milug ("Properties that are Plucked"), because for the duration of the marriage the husband may take ("pluck") the produce (Peiros) of these possessions (e.g. reaping the fruit of a field, or plowing with an ox). However, he may not "use up" the property itself (e.g. by digging trenches in the field or slaughtering the ox).
