(b)In a case where someone transgresses one of two Chayvei Kareis (Cheilev or Nosar, his wife who is a Nidah or his sister) that are in front of him, or if he transgresses either Shabbos or Yom Kipur (during the bein-ha'Shemashos in between them), Rebbi Eliezer obligates him to bring a Chatas- seeing as Mah Nafshach, he transgressed an Isur that is subject to a Chatas (See Tosfos Yom Tov).

(c)... and the case of Safek Shabbos, Safek bein-ha'Shemashos, where he holds 'Chayav Chatas' - is where he transgresses in the middle of one of the two days, but he cannot recall which one.

2. ... different names is - where he is not sure whether he reaped on Shabbos or whether he ground ...
