9)[line 22]חמור דבור לרבי יהודהCHAMOR D'VOR L'REBBI YEHUDAH- the word "חמור" "Chamor" written in the verse (Shemos 21:33) that discusses the damages incurred from the digging of a pit. The Rabanan learn that the word "Chamor" limits the liability of the one who dug the pit; he is not obligated in damages to utensils. Rebbi Yehudah learns from the extra word "או" "O" that the one who dug the pit is obligated in damages to utensils, and as such, the word "Chamor" is unnecessary (see Bava Kama 53b- 54a).

14)[last line]סימנין דאורייתא או דרבנןSIMANIN D'ORAISA O D'RABANAN (SIMANIN)
(a)There are certain instances where the Torah requires proof of identity, for example, in order to reclaim a lost object, or to identify a dead man and permit his wife to remarry. There is an argument as to whether Simanin ("signs" - identifying features) are considered a valid proof on a d'Oraisa level (Simanin d'Oraisa) or not (Simanin Lav d'Oraisa or Simanin d'Rabanan) in these instances.
(b)The Simanin under discussion are not general signs (e.g. the color of the clothes of the deceased), nor very specific signs (e.g. the lost Get had a hole next to the third letter Alef). The former certainly is not accepted as proof, while the latter certainly is accepted (see Insights to Yevamos 120:1). The Simanin under discussion are signs that lie in between these extremes.
