Mordechi Kohanbash asks:
I understand Tosfos first question and answer but I don't understand the second part and what Vav Yud Mem stands for. Thanks!

The Kollel replies:
Dear Mordechai,
The Vav Yud Mem stands for v'Yesh Meforshim- and there are those who explain.
A washing pool could be permissibly needed for washing a dead body before burial or to wash clothing to dress the dead body for burial.
All the best,
