Rav Huna explains in the name of Rav that "She'iyah" refers to the name of a destructive spirit. One who resides in the empty courtyard of another prevents this spirit from causing damage.

10)[line 22]ביתא מיתבא יתיבBEISA MEISVA YASIV- an inhabited house remains inhabitable [since those who reside there keep it in good repair; as such, one who resides in the empty courtyard of another does him a favor]

16)[line 32]ובמחזרתUV'MACHZERES- and [the case in our Mishnah in which the animal ate from the sides of the public area and its owner is fully responsible is one] in which it turned [its head while remaining in the public area, since this constitutes a) Shen in a private domain (RASHI, TOSFOS DH uv'Machzeres); b) an unusual action of Keren, and he must pay Chatzi Nezek (alternate explanation of RASHI cited by TOSFOS DH uv'Machzeres)]
17)[line 34]שבקתהSHAVKASAH- [the animal] left

22)[line 46]מקצה מקום מרשותו לרשות הרביםMEKATZEH MAKOM ME'RESHUSO LI'RESHUS HA'RABIM- [a case in which] one a) gave up part of his domain to the public [and then spread his produce there to dry] (RASHI); b) allowed the public to walk through his domain [as long as he was not using it to dry his produce] (TOSFOS DH Ki)

Since it is considered an obstacle, he may seize it (see 30a)] (TOSFOS DH d'Rav)

31)[line 10]אין דרכה לאכול אלא להלךEIN DARKAH LE'ECHOL ELA LA'HALOCH- it is not normal for it to eat but rather to walk. At this point the Gemara understands that Rebbi Yosi means that it is not normal for an animal to eat from the Tzidei ha'Rachvah.

c)[line 19]איכא בינייהוIKA BEINAIHU- that are the subject of their disagreement [as Rebbi Meir and Rebbi Yehudah rule that in these cases the owner need not pay any more then the benefit that he has received, whereas Rebbi Yosi and Rebbi Eliezer agree with Ilfa and Rebbi Oshaya]

44)[line 35]מאי ניהו?MAI NIHU?- why is it so [that he is responsible in such a case]?
45)[line 35]אבעי ליה לאסוקי דעתא דנפיל ארחיIBA'I LEI L'ASUKEI DAITA D'NAFIL ARCHEI- he should have realized that the bricks [of the wall] would fall
