8)[line 22]îéåçãMEYUCHAD- [the] unique [one of the two Simanim] (since a minute hole in it renders the animal a Tereifah, while a hole in the trachea only renders an animal a Tereifah if most of its circumference is cut - RASHI)

9)[line 22](ñéîï ùçè çöàéï âøâøú ôâéîä ãçèàú äòåó)(SIMAN SHACHAT CHATZA'IN GARGERES PEGIMAH D'CHATAS HA'OF)- this is a mnemonic device that stands for a word from the five questions brought by the Gemara to prove (#'s 3, 4, 5) or disprove (#'s 1, 2) Rav Nachman's opinion, that performing Shechitah on the trachea alone is a valid Shechitah, as follows:

1.Shachat refers to "Shachat Es ha'Veshet..." (line 24)

2.Chatza'in refers to "Shachat Shenei Chatza'ei Simanim..." (line 31)

3.Gargeres refers to "Shachat Chatzi Gargeres v'Shahah Bah..." (line 35)

18)[line 6]çëéí éåñó áøé áèøôåú ëø' éåçðïCHAKIM YOSEF BRI BI'TEREIFOS K'REBBI YOCHANAN- my son Yosef is well-learned with regard to the Halachos of Tereifos like Rebbi Yochanan was (a) with regard to the Halachos of Tereifos (RASHI, 1st explanation); (b) with regard to all matters of Halachah (RASHI, 2nd explanation)

19)[line 9]äåàéì åöåìäå ëåìå ëàçãHO'IL V'TZOLEHU KULO K'ECHAD - since one [often] roasts it whole (ISUR ACHILAS DAM: TZLI)

(a)It is forbidden to ingest the blood of animals and birds, whether they are Kosher or non-Kosher. The verse states, "v'Chol Dam Lo Sochelu b'Chol Moshevoseichem, la'Of vela'Behemah" - "You shall eat no kind of blood, whether it is of bird or of beast, in any of your settlements" (Vayikra 7:26). Because of this prohibition, slaughtered animals must be salted or roasted over a fire to remove their blood before they can be cooked and eaten.

(b)The blood of fish, locusts, Sheratzim (rodents or lizards), insects or small crawling creatures, and humans is not included in the prohibition of Dam. However, the blood of non-Kosher fish and locusts is prohibited because it is a secretion of a non-Kosher creature. The blood of Sheratzim is also prohibited because it is considered like their flesh. Human blood that has become separated from the body is prohibited mid'Rabanan (Kerisus 22a).

(c)Blood of an animal may be eaten if it is still inside the raw flesh of the animal as it was when the animal died or was slaughtered. Only when the blood has been removed from its original location after the animal's death, for example, by being cooked or boiled, does the blood become prohibited (TOSFOS to Chulin 14a DH v'Nasvin).

(d)If a person ingests a k'Zayis of blood b'Mezid (intentionally) after Hasra'ah (being forewarned), he is punished with Malkus (lashes). If he was not given Hasra'ah, he is Chayav Kares. If he sins b'Shogeg (unintentionally) he must bring a Korban Chatas (as with all sins for which one is liable to Kares b'Mezid). If the blood did not pour from the animal's major arteries but rather was inside the animal's limbs when it died (Dam Evarim) and was extracted afterward, the punishment of Kares does not apply. If it dripped from a major artery after the main flow subsided (Dam ha'Tamtzis), the Tana'im argue whether the punishment of Kares applies (Kerisus 20b).

20)[line 28]÷åõKOTZ- a thorn

21)[line 39](ñéîï çöé ÷èéðà âøâøú ôâéîä)(SIMAN CHATZI KETINA GARGERES PEGIMAH)- this is a mnemonic device that stands for a word from the four questions brought by the Gemara to disprove Rav's opinion, that Mechtzah Al Mechtzah k'Rov, as follows:

1.Chati refers to "Chatzi Echad b'Of..." (line 39)

2.Ketina refers to "Amar Rebbi Ketina..." (line 41)

3.Gargeres refers to "Shachat Chatzi Gargeres v'Shahah Bah..." (last line)

4.Pegimah refers to "Harei she'Hayah Chatzi Gargeres Pagum..." (Daf 29a, line 7)

22)[line 42]çì÷å ìùðéí åäï ùåéï ùðéäí èîàéïCHILKO LI'SHENAYIM V'HEN SHAVIN SHENEIHEM TEMEI'IN - if a person split an earthenware oven in two equal-sized pieces, both of them are Temei'im (TANUR: TUM'AH)

The Halachah for clay and earthenware utensils is that if they become Tamei, they remain so until they are broken beyond use. An oven only becomes Tahor if it broken to the extent that it does not retain a majority of its original size.

23)[line 42]àé àôùø ìöîöíIY EFSHAR L'TZAMTZEM - it is impossible to be so precise

The Tana'im argue as to whether it is possible for natural (i.e. not intentionally planned) events to occur simultaneously or not. For example, Rebbi Yosi rules that it is possible for the two witnesses to voice their denial of knowledge of evidence simultaneously while the Rabanan argue (Shevuos 32a).
