1)

(a)On the assumption that each of the two men picked up the Talis on behalf of both of them (we will see later from which part of the Mishnah he derives this), how does Rami bar Chama extrapolate from our Mishnah the principle 'ha'Magbihah Metzi'ah la'Chavero, Kanah Chavero' (if Reuven picks up a Metzi'a for Shimon, Shimon acquires it automatically)?

(b)How does Rava refute Rami bar Chama's proof. On what grounds would they still acquire the Talis, even if we were to hold 'Lo Kanah Chavero?

(c)How does Rava prove the distinction between the two above principles from partners who stole? What is the Din regarding a Shali'ach who steals on behalf of the Meshale'ach?

2)

(a)How does Rava refute his own proof from 'Migu de'Zachi le'Nafsheih ... ' that if a Cheresh and a Pike'ach pick up a Metzi'ah together, since the Cheresh acquires half, so does the Pike'ach? On what grounds is a Cheresh Koneh?

(b)How does he therefore amend the 'Migu'?

(c)On what grounds do we refute this explanation too? Why would even the Cheresh not be Koneh? (see Maharam).

(d)Why are we not afraid that the Cheresh will pick a quarrel if we do not give him half?

(e)Then why did Chazal institute that two Charashin should be Koneh?

3)

(a)When Rami bar Chama extrapolates from our Mishnah 'ha'Magbihah Metzi'ah la'Chavero, Kanah Chavero' (and Rava 'Migu de'Zachi le'Nafsheih ... '), why can it not be from ...

1. ... the Reisha 'Shenayim Ochzin be'Talis'?

2. ... the second case 'Zeh Omer Kulah she'Li ve'Zeh Omer Kulah she'Li'?

(b)Why can he not be referring to the case of 'Zeh Omer Kulah she'Li, ve'Zeh Omer Chetzyah she'Li'? What would be the Chidush even assuming that the Tana is speaking in a case of purchasing?

(c)Why is he indeed not believed without a Shevu'ah (like a Meishiv Aveidah)?

(d)And why can Rami bar Chama (and Rava) not be referring to the case of 'Hayu Sheneihem Rochvin al-Gabei Beheimah ... '?

4)

(a)From which case do they finally learn 'ha'Magbihah Metzi'ah la'Chavero, Kanah Chavero' or 'Migu de'Zachi le'Nafsheih ... '?

(b)How do we know that the Tana is referring to a case of Metzi'ah, and not of purchase?

5)

(a)Rav Yehudah heard two things from Shmuel concerning Rachuv and Manhig (riding the animal and leading it). What were they? What is it that he couldn't remember about them?

(b)We initially think that it cannot have been a question of one being Koneh independently and the other one, not. Why not?

(c)Then what did he hear from Shmuel? What advantage does ...

1. ... the Rachuv enjoy over the Manhig?

2. ... the Manhig enjoy over the Rachuv?

6)

(a)Rav Yosef, quoting Rav Yehudah himself, resolves the Safek. What does the Tana Kama in the Mishnah in Kil'ayim say about someone who is leading an ox and a donkey that are harnessed together, and someone who is sitting on the wagon they are pulling?

(b)Rebbi Meir exempts the latter. What caused Shmuel to reverse the two opinions?

(c)What did Rav Yehudah extrapolate from that statement of Shmuel?

7)

(a)In what way did Abaye query Rav Yosef 's having quoted Rav Yehudah?

(b)Rav Yosef proved that he had heard it from Rav Yehudah (though in all likelihood Rav Yosef, who is known to have suffered a memory loss, had forgotten to mention it to his Talmidim) from the Kashya he had asked him. What did he ask him (based on the fact that the Mishnah is talking about 'Yoshev be'Karon' and not about 'Rachuv')?

(c)What had Rav Yehudah replied? What did Rav and Shmuel say about 'Mosirah'?

(d)According to the second Lashon, who queried Rav Yehudah's proof, and who gave the answer? Who is Idi?

8)

(a)Rebbi Chelbo Amar Rav Huna corroborates the ruling regarding Mosirah. What distinction does he make between a sale on the one hand, and a Metzi'ah and acquiring from a deceased Ger, on the other?

(b)How does Idi prove this distinction from the very word 'Mosirah'?

9)

(a)We learned in our Mishnah that if the two disputants claimed the animal they were riding or leading, they divide it with a Shevu'ah. Why, according to Shmuel, can the author of the Mishnah not be Rebbi Meir (of the Mishnah in Kil'ayim)?

(b)Assuming then, that the author is the Rabbanan, this poses a Kashya on Shmuel, who holds that Rochev is not Koneh. How does Shmuel therefore establish the Mishnah?

(c)If he is leading the animal with his legs then, having mentioned 'Manhig, why does the Tana find it necessary to add 'Rachuv' (which is also a kind of Manhig)?
