12)[line 39]טעמא דכתבה ליהTA'AMA, D'CHASVAH LEI- that is, if she writes that she is foregoing the Kesuvah, it becomes a Shtar to the effect that she has foregone the Kesuvah. If she just speaks out that she is foregoing the Kesuvah, though, it is no more than a Tenai. (See Rashi 56b DH Rebbi Yosi.)

(a)Produce bought from an Am ha'Aretz (an unlearned Jew who is lax in his Torah-observance; see Berachos 47b) is referred to as Demai ("Da Mai?" - "what is this?").
(b)Terumas Ma'aser and Ma'aser Sheni must be separated from this produce since a minority of Amei ha'Aretz cannot be trusted to have separated them before selling the produce. Terumah Gedolah, however, because of its stringency, is presumed to have been separated. Ma'aser Rishon and Ma'aser Ani are separated from the produce, but they are eaten by the owner and not given to the Levi or the Ani (in keeping with the principle "ha'Motzi me'Chaveiro Alav ha'Re'ayah").

Doing so would be a breach of "Tikun ha'Olam," since they depreciate in value.
23)[line 32]קבל עליו אחריותKIBEL ALAV ACHRAYUS- the husband accepted upon himself Achrayus (see Background to Kesuvos 51:9) to replace the objects of the dowry if they are lost [but he did not accept to replace their original value if they decreased in value]
24)[line 37]לא ידעה דתחילLO YAD'AH D'SACHIL- it is impossible for her to know [whether or not, or by how much the objects included in the dowry would go down in value] such that she should forgo the decrease
