(a) How do we reconcile the current Beraisa, which instructs the fuller to ...

2. ... cut the garment straight along the length, with the Beraisa, which requires that one cuts it along the width?
(b) It is generally forbidden to buy fluff from the fuller, because, as we learned in our Mishnah, he is not entitled to keep it. In which case is it permitted?
(c) Why may one purchase from him covers and cushions filled with fluff?

(a) One may not buy from a weaver Irin, (Batei) Nirin, Punklin or Pekayos.

1. ... Punklin?
2. ... Pekayos?

(a) One may not buy from a dyer Osos or Dugmos, nor small pieces of wool. What is the difference between 'Osos' and 'Dugmos', both of which mean 'samples'?

2. ... the sawdust that remains after he has drilled with an awl, planed with a plane or sawn off with a saw?
(b) How does Rava reconcile the two contradictory rulings regarding a Ma'atzad?
(c) What does the Beraisa say about ...
