9)[line 16]המדרסMIDRAS

(a)A Zav 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.

(b)He can cause objects that are under him to become Avos ha'Tum'ah whether he touches them or not. The objects become Tamei Midras (lit. an object that is treaded upon), otherwise known as Mishkav or Moshav ha'Zav (or the Tachton of a Zav). An object may become a Midras if it was made for lying, sitting, or leaning upon.

(c)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.

(d)A person who touches or carries a Midras is Tamei and is Metamei the clothes he is wearing and other utensils (except for earthenware utensils) that he is touching. He and the items he touches get the status of Rishon l'Tum'ah.

(e)Utensils or clothes that lie above the Zav also get the status of a Rishon l'Tum'ah, whether he touches them or not. These are called the Elyon of a Zav.

11)[line 22]מצרףMETZAREF

When a source of Tum'ah touches an item of Kodshim that is in a utensil that contains other items of Kodshim that are not touching each other, the utensil causes the Tum'ah to spread to all of the items as if they were touching each other. (RAMBAM Hilchos Avos ha'Tumah 12:7)
