27)[line 28]אקצינהוAKTZINHU (MUKTZAH)

(a)Muktzah literally means "set aside" or "designated". With regard to Shabbos, this term is used to describe items which one has no intention of using on Shabbos, such as wood stacked in a barn. Anything that a person had no intention to use during Bein ha'Shemashos (twilight) at the start of Shabbos (or Yom Tov) — for any reason — is included in the category of Muktzah and may not be moved on Shabbos. That which is not Muktzah is termed "Muchan" — "designated" for use on Shabbos or Yom Tov.

(n)Rav Nachman teaches that if bricks have been neatly piled, they have certainly been set aside for building purposes and are Muktzah.
