1)[line 5]המדיר את אשתוHA'MADIR ES ISHTO- one who makes a vow prohibiting his wife from having benefit from him
2)[line 17]וקיים לה הואV'KIYEM LAH HU (HAFARAS and KIYUM NEDARIM - Annulling and Endorsing vows)
(a)A man has the right to annul certain vows of his wife and his daughter, as the Torah states in Bamidbar 30:6, 9, 13-14. He accomplishes this if on the day that he hears the vow he states "Mufar Lach" ("it is annulled"). There is an argument among the Tana'im whether the vow must be annulled before nightfall on the day the husband/father heard it, or before 24 hours pass from when he heard it (Shabbos 157a). If he does not annul the vow by the end of the day, or if he is Mekayem (upholds) the vow even before the day is over (by saying "the vow should remain valid!"), the vow takes effect and his wife or daughter must abide by her vows.
(b)A father may annul the vows of his daughter while she is a minor or Na'arah (when she grows two pubic hairs) until she becomes a Bogeres (six months after she becomes a Na'arah). If the father marries her off when she is a minor, during the period of Erusin both the father and the future husband must annul the vows in order for the annulment to take place. After the period of Nisu'in, the husband may annul the vows and not the father. Nobody may annul the vows of an unmarried mature woman; they need to be revoked, as follows.
(c)When an adult makes a Neder (or designates Chalah, Terumah or Kodshim) or Nezirus, he may have it revoked by a Beis Din of three (if they are not outstanding authorities) or a Yachid Mumcheh (an outstanding authority). The general method used is that Beis Din investigates whether the person would not have made the Neder in the first place had he been aware of a particular fact.
3)[line 46]חביביCHAVIVI- (lit. my beloved one) Rebbi Chiya, Rav's uncle. Rav's father Aibo was Rebbi Chiya's brother from the same father. However, they did not share the same mother. Aibo married Rebbi Chiya's sister from his mother, and as such, Rav was the son of Rebbi Chiya's brother and sister (Sanhedrin 5a)

(Yeshayah 58:7) (A GENUINE FAST)
(a)The Navi here answers the people, who wanted to know why their fasts were not being accepted. His answer was now forthcoming: What is the use of fasting and bowing one's head in mock humility, wearing sack-cloth and ashes, while one indulges in squabbling?
(b)What HaSh-m wants, he explained to them, is that they rid themselves of their evil ways, stop harassing the poor, and set free their servants, and that they fulfill the requirements in the above verse. Then, as the Navi concludes, "HaSh-m will be happy to answer their prayers and heed their cries."

The Navi here instructs the people to prepare to settle down to seventy years of exile, and to ignore the predictions of the false prophets among them who were assuring them that that they would soon return to Eretz Yisrael and that they should prepare themselves for only a short stay in Galus. Rather, he advised them, they should pray for the peace of Yerushalayim, for as long as there would be peace in Yerushalayim they, too, would enjoy peace in Galus.
