17)[line 22]כל תוך כדי דבור כדבור דמיKOL TOCH KEDEI DIBUR K'DIBUR DAMI

"Toch Kedei Dibur" is the length of time that it takes for a student to say a greeting to his teacher (e.g. "Shalom Alecha Rebbi"). "k'Dibur Dami" means that within this small amount of time, we view an act or speech as not yet completed and still continuing. Thus, even though the person has, with regard to his actions, already stopped performing the act, within this amount of time he may act or say something that will abrogate his previous actions or words, or he may add something to his previous words which will be considered to have been said at the same time as his previous words.
