b)[line 27]שפחותSHEFACHOS- maidservants. Rav Malchiyo (or Rav Malchiya, according to Rav Papa) rules that the Halachah follows the opinion of Rebbi Eliezer quoted in the Mishnah in Kesuvos (5:5, Daf 59b), that even a bride who brings one hundred maidservants into the new household must do productive physical work, because idleness only leads to immorality.
c)[line 27]וגומותV'GUMOS- and hair follicles, cavities. Rav Malchiyo rules (Nidah 52a) that if a young woman has two hair follicles, whether they have hair in them or not, she is considered an adult.

b)[line 27]אפר מקלהEFER MAKLEH- ashes from burned wood. Rav Malchiya prohibited placing Efer Makleh on a wound because of its similarity to tattooing (Makos 21a).
c)[line 27]וגבינהU'GEVINAH- and cheese. Rav Malchiya explained (Avodah Zarah 35b) that the reason for the prohibition of the Mishnah (ibid. 29b) against cheeses made by Nochrim is because they smear pig fat on them.
51)[line 28]וסימנך מתניתא מלכתאV'SIMANACH MASNISA MALKESA- the Siman for you to know which statements were made by Rav Malchiya and which by Rav Malchiyo is as follows: those Halachos that are mentioned in a Mishnah or Beraisa were stated by Rav Malchiya, (a) and the other three Halachos were stated by Rav Malchiyo (RASHBAM, cited by TOSFOS DH Ika), (b) as well as the Halachic teaching regarding Efer Makleh. Only the Halachos of Shefud and Gumos were stated by Rav Malchiyo (RASHI, RABEINU TAM, cited by TOSFOS DH Ika)

58)[line 35]מיולדת נקבה / מיולדת זכרMI'YOLEDES NEKEVAH / MI'YOLEDES ZACHAR (YOLEDES)
(a)In Vayikra 12:1-8, the Torah discusses the laws of Tum'ah and Taharah after childbirth. (The same Halachos apply to a woman who miscarries after the fetus has reached a certain stage of development.) After a woman gives birth, she must wait for a certain amount of time before she can enter the Beis ha'Mikdash or eat Kodshim. That time period is divided into two stages:
1.During the initial stage, she has the status of a Nidah (even if she had not seen any blood). If she gave birth to a male, this lasts for seven days. If a female was born, this stage lasts for two weeks. At the end of this period, she may go to the Mikvah after nightfall. After she has gone to the Mikvah, she is known as a "Tevulas Yom Aroch" (a "long" Tevulas Yom - see Background to Nidah 71:23b), and she is permitted to her husband and to eat Ma'aser Sheni.
2.During the second stage, any bleeding that she experiences does not give her the status of a Nidah as it normally would. This blood is called Dam Tohar. Nevertheless, during this period, she may not eat Terumah, Kodshim or enter the Beis ha'Mikdash. This lasts for thirty-three days for a male, and sixty-six days for a female. Thus, the total waiting period for a male is forty days and for a female, eighty days.
(b)Any bleeding that the woman experiences after the conclusion of the above two terms is the start of her regular cycle (Dam Nidah).
(c)At the end of the above two stages, the woman may eat Kodshim and enter the Azarah of the Beis ha'Mikdash only after she brings a Korban Yoledes. Until then she is a Mechuseres Kaparah (see Background to Me'ilah 8:4). Her Korban includes a male sheep as an Olah and a Tor (turtledove) or a Ben Yonah (common dove) as a Chatas. If she could not afford a sheep, she brings two Torim or two Bnei Yonah, one as an Olah and one as a Chatas. (The current practice is to consider a woman a Nidah even if she experiences bleeding during the period of Dam Tohar - see Insights to Nidah 25a.)
59)[line 36]מנדהMI'NIDAH (NIDAH)
By Torah Law, a woman who has her period is a Nidah for seven days. It makes no difference whether she saw blood only one time or for the entire seven days. At the end of seven days, after nightfall, she immerses in a Mikvah to become Tehorah. (The current practice is to consider all women who have a show of blood to be a Zavah, and therefore they must have seven clean days before they go to the Mikvah.
