6)[line 21]חצי נזק נמי היינו חבלותCHATZI NEZEK NAMI HAINU CHAVALOS- "Chatzi Nezek" (the payment of half of the value of the damages, which the owner of a Shor Tam pays when his animal gores with its horns - see below, entry #8) is also [a subset of] "Chavalos" (RASHI)
7a)[line 22]ממונאMAMONA- monetary compensation
b)[line 22]קנסאKENASA- a fine imposed by the Torah
8)[line 23]פלגא ניזקא (קנסא / ממונא)PALGA NIZKA (KENASA / MAMONA)
(a)A bull that gores with its horns one or two times is called a Shor Tam. The owner only pays half the value of the damages (Chatzi Nezek) that his bull causes in this manner. In addition, the owner of the bull that causes the damage never has to pay more than the value of the bull that damaged. That is, payment for the damages is taken from the animal itself that caused the damage ("mi'Gufo").
(b)If the bull gored three times or more, and the owner was informed and warned to guard his bull each time, the bull is termed a Shor ha'Mu'ad. When a Mu'ad causes damage, the owner must pay the full value of the damages (Nezek Shalem) that his bull causes through goring, even if it is greater than the value of the goring bull itself ("Min ha'Aliyah") (Shemos 21:35-36).
(c)The Amora'im (Bava Kama 15a) argue as to why the Torah decreed that the owner of a Shor Tam pays Chatzi Nezek and not Nezek Shalem. One opinion holds that by law he should pay Nezek Shalem because he did not guard his bull properly, but the Torah was lenient (since the bull has not been proven to be a harmful animal) and exempted him from half of the damages. According to this opinion, Chatzi Nezek is "Mamona" (compensation) and not "Kenasa" (a fine imposed by the Torah). The other opinion feels that by law the owner should be entirely exempted from paying the first three times that his bull causes damage, since bulls are relatively docile and do not have to be constantly watched to prevent them from causing damage. Even so, the Torah imposed upon him a fine of Chatzi Nezek, so that he should guard his bull more carefully in the future. According to this opinion, Chatzi Nezek is Kenasa and not Mamona.
(d)One of the ramifications that arises as a result of the argument as to whether Chatzi Nezek is Mamona or Kenasa is when the owner of the bull admits, without the testimony of witnesses, that his bull caused damage. According to the opinion that maintains Palga Nizka Mamona, he must pay for half of the damages. But the opinion that maintains Palga Nizka Kenasa rules that he is exempt from payment, since a person does not have to pay Kenas if he admits to his guilt of his own accord.

The Tana'im argue as to whether or not we can learn a Derashah (homiletic extrapolation) from the first time a word is mentioned. The Tana who rules that we do not is of the opinion that the first mention of the word is "l'Gufo" - "for its own sake," i.e. used solely to introduce the topic in the verse.
