10)[line 40]בשקנו מידן ברוחותBESHE'KANU MI'YADAN B'RUCHOS- when they made a formal act of Kinyan with regard to the "directions"; the Kinyan finalized an agreement as to which part of the courtyard each partner would receive, and therefore it is considered a transaction and is binding

28)[line 15]הקורה שאמרו, רחבה כדי לקבל אריחHA'KORAH SHE'AMRU, RECHAVAH KEDEI L'KABEL ARI'ACH - the beam that is under discussion should be wide enough to support a half-brick (LECHI V'KORAH)
(a)Although mid'Oraisa a Mavoy (an alley that is walled on three sides that leads into a public thoroughfare, and has courtyards that open into it) is a Reshus ha'Yachid, nevertheless the Chachamim prohibited carrying objects in a Mavoy a distance of four Amos or more. This decree was enacted because of its similarity to a Reshus ha'Rabim, since many families make use of a single Mavoy.
(b)Carrying in a Mavoy is permitted if a Lechi is placed vertically against one of the walls at the entrance to the Mavoy. A Lechi is a pole, plank, or other object that is at least ten Tefachim high. It serves as a Mechitzah (a fourth wall) or as a Heker (reminder) to signal the border of Reshus ha'Rabim and Reshus ha'Yachid so that people do not transfer objects from the Mavoy to the adjacent Reshus ha'Rabim (Eruvin 5a, 15a).
(c)Another method to permit carrying in a Mavoy is with a Korah (a beam, one Tefach wide). The Korah is placed horizontally across the top of the entrance to the Mavoy, and serves as a Mechitzah (a fourth wall) or as a Heker (reminder) to signal the border of Reshus ha'Rabim and Reshus ha'Yachid so that people do not transfer objects from the Mavoy to the adjacent Reshus ha'Rabim (see Insights to Eruvin 2a, and Graphic #1).
(d)The Lechi and Korah must be used in conjunction with a Shituf Mavo'os (see Introduction to Maseches Eruvin [III]) to permit carrying within the Mavoy.
