2)[line 3]דאית ביה בזרניD'IS BEI BIZRANEI- (the Gemara answers) [the case in one] in which there were seeds [in the vessel, and as it is therefore normal for the animal to stick its head in the vessel, it is also normal for it to crow while there]

3)[line 4]יש שנוי לצרורות לרביע נזקYESH SHINUY LI'TZEROROS LI'REVI'A NEZEK- is one responsible for no more than one-quarter of the damage for Tzeroros that result from an unusual action? (i.e., are the factors of Chatzi Nezek that result from that which it is a Tam and that which it has caused Tzeroros multipliable by each other?)

4)[line 7]מכלל דאין שנויMI'CHELAL D'EIN SHINUY- this implies one is responsible for half of the damage [caused by Tzeroros that result from an unusual action, since otherwise Rava would have wondered whether one's responsibility for established Tzeroros increases from one-quarter to one-half]

5)[line 10]תיקוTEIKU - An Unanswered Question

(a)The Gemara often leaves a question unanswered with the word "Teiku". The PRI MEGADIM (Igeres preceding his introduction to Orach Chaim, #9) cites three explanations for this term:

1.[this question shall remain] sealed in its container (ARUCH, Erech Tik)

2.let [the question] stand ("Tehei Ka'I"; MUSAF HA'ARUCH)

3.Tishbi Yetaretz Kushyos v'Ibayos - Eliyahu ha'Navi will answer difficulties and questions (TOSFOS YOM TOV, end of Eduyos)

9)[line 29]ובעי לה הכיU'VA'I LAH HACHI- and he asks the question as follows. There was a tradition in which Talmudists of an earlier generation had wondered whether the Mishnah discusses a case of regular Tzeroros or those produced by an unusual action (TOSFOS DH Rav).

11)[line 36]ובעטה(U'VA'ATAH)- (and it kicked in an unusual manner). See Insights for the explanation of this question according to those Rishonim who are Gores this word; according to the Girsa of RASHI, this word does not appear and the question of the Gemara concerns Tzeroros that result from a normal action.

12)[line 37]לקרן מדמינן ליהL'KEREN MEDAMINAN LEI?- do we compare it to Keren [since one must pay only Chatzi Nezek, similar to a Tam]?

13)[line 37]תולדה דרגל הואTOLDAH D'REGEL HU- it is a subdivision of Regel [since the animal has not acted in an unusual manner]

14)[line 38]עקירה אין כאן הנחה יש כאןAKIRAH EIN KAN; HANACHAH YESH KAN?- there is no uprooting [of the Tzeroros] here [in the Reshus ha'Nizak, which is the only place that one is responsible for Tzeroros]; can there then be placement [of Tzeroros in a manner that obligates the owner to pay]?
