Dubbin Hanon asks:
In that line, that computes how many kabeitzim you can get for a pundyon which is enough for two meals, i got 6 kabeitzim, so did the kehati peah 8:7. What does it mean "ie. 18"

The Kollel replies:
I don't know where you saw 18.
I wrote that a Pundyon buys 12 ka'beitzim of wheat, but half the price of bread is for the firewood and the baker's profit, so a Pundyon buys 6 ka'beitzim of bread. (I thought it is clear
that "loaf" refers to bread, and not wheat.)
