(a)When a person buys or sells an object, he must make a Ma'aseh Kinyan (a formal Halachically-binding act denoting the change in status). The forms of Ma'aseh Kinyan that may be used are: for Metaltelin (movable goods) - 1. Hagbahah, i.e. lifting an item; 2. Meshichah (lit. pulling), i.e. causing an item to move; 3. Chatzer, i.e. bringing the item into one's domain; for Mekarka'in (real estate) - Chazakah, i.e. performing an act that is normally performed by an owner.
(b)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).

He did not want people to think that they were sinners who would have died long ago if not for the merit of Rebbi, who needed their help and kept them alive until near his death, when he no longer needed them. To the contrary, in truth these Talmidim - who were extremely close to their mentor, Rebbi - merited to die immediately before him so that they should "serve" him after death as well as during his life.

30)[line 3]סבור מינה משום טרחא הוא דקאמרSAVUR MINAH MISHUM TIRCHA HU D'KA'AMAR- that is, originally it was thought that he asked not to be eulogized in the medium-sized cities in order that the villagers should not have to trouble themselves to come. If the eulogies would be delivered only in the very large cities, the villagers, who lived far from those cities, certainly would not feel it necessary to come (RASHI). Alternatively, originally it was thought that he asked not to be eulogized in the medium-sized cities in order not to bother the students to have to bring flutes and the other necessities that are used during eulogies to these cities, which were not well-stocked with such items. That is why he asked for the eulogies to be delivered only in the very large cities, where such tools were commonplace (RA'AVAD, cited by Shitah Mekubetzes).
31)[line 6]משום יקרא הוא דקאמרMISHUM YEKARA HU D'KA'AMAR- that is, he asked not to be eulogized in the medium-sized cities (but rather in the large ones) in order that the eulogies should be few and well-attended, rather than many small crowds in many cities (RASHI). Alternatively, he wanted there to be enough room to accommodate the large crowds that would come for the honor of the Torah (RA'AVAD cited by Shitah Mekubetzes).
