(a)

Abaye queries both Rabah and Rav Nachman on two scores. What did he ask on

1.

... Rabah?

2.

... Rav Nachman?

(b)

Based on Rabah's own statement later (in connection with the case of the old grandmother), why should even Karka be considered Ra'uy, even though it is Meshubad?

(c)

What does Rav Nachman Amar Rabah bar Avuha say about Yesomim who claimed Karka that was Meshubad to their father?

(d)

What does Abaye ask from there on Rav Nachman's current opinion? What would he have said had the Yesomim acquired Karka after their father's death?

2)

(a)

What did Rabah reply (to answer Abaye's questions on Rav Nachman and on himself)?

(b)

What do Rabah and Rav Nachman then really hold? Whose opinion do they follow?

(c)

If that is so, on what grounds do they qualify the Shalchu mi'Tam? How do they know that they do not consider him Muchzak in both?

3)

(a)

If Rav Nachman really considers even Karka to be Ra'uy, on what basis does he quote Rabah bar Avu'ah, who permits the creditor of the Yesomim's father to claim his debt from the property which the Yesomim claimed from their father's debtor?

(b)

And how will we reconcile Rabah here, who considers the father Muchzak in his debtor's Karka according to the Shalchu mi'Tam, with the Shalchu mi'Tam, who, in the forthcoming case, considered the property Ra'uy, even though it was Karka]). Why was it not Meshubad to the husband?

(b)

Who claimed the property after the old woman died?

(c)

On what grounds did ...

1.

... Rav Huna uphold the husband's claim?

(d)

5)

(a)

What did Shalchu mi'Tam mean when they ruled like Rav Anan, but not for the same reason?

6)

(a)

How did Rebbi Elazar explain Rav Huna, for the property not to have been Ra'uy?

(b)

Nevertheless, Rabah, based on a S'vara that we have already discussed, agrees with the B'nei Ma'arava (the Shalchu mi'Tam). Which S'vara?

1.

... in money?

7)

(a)

Regarding Rav Papa's first ruling, in which case will a husband inherit what is basically Ra'uy?

(b)

Why is this obvious, despite the fact that the Rabbanan argue with Rebbi over this point with regard to a B'chor?

8)

(a)

In which case will the Rabbanan anyway concede to Rebbi that even a B'chor will inherit Ra'uy which grows from the object that one inherited?

Why is that?

(c)

And in which case will Rav Papa agree that even a B'chor who has brothers will receive an extra portion, despite the fact that it is Ra'uy?
