1)[line 11]משונה קרן בחצר הניזק נזק שלם משלםMESHUNEH KEREN B'CHATZER HA'NIZAK, NEZEK SHALEM MESHALEM

The characteristic that defines Keren is that it is "Meshuneh" - it is an irregular activity. Rebbi Tarfon rules that the special Halachah that one only pays Chatzi Nezek (half of the value of the damage done) for damage caused by Keren only applies in Reshus ha'Rabim, where one is completely exempt for damage caused by the other Mazikim (Shen and Regel). If, however, the animal enters the Nizak's domain and causes damage there, then, according to Rebbi Tarfon, the owner of the animal must pay the entire value of the damage (Nezek Shalem).

14)[line 14]גרמא בעלמא הואGERAMA B'ALMU HU (GERAMA B'NEZAKIN)

(a)There are two manners of causing indirect damage. The less direct manner is known as "Gerama," for which even Rebbi Meir (Kesuvos 86a) does not hold a person liable. The more direct manner is known as "Garmi," for which Rebbi Meir holds a person liable. (The Rishonim argue as to the definition of "more direct.")

(b)The case of an animal that dies in which the stench of the carcass causes well water to become putrid is considered damage in an indirect manner, and the animal's owner is not liable for the damage caused, since "Gerama b'Nezkin Patur."

(b)If a Shor ha'Mu'ad causes a woman to miscarry, the owner of the bull does not pay Demei Velados (Bava Kama 42a).
