1)[line 2]פלגא דדנקאPALGA D'DANKA- one half of one sixth, i.e. one twelfth [of one Mil]. Since it takes an average man eighteen minutes to walk a Mil, the difference between the times of Rabah and Rav Yosef is 1 1/2 minutes. According to the Rishonim who claim that it takes and average man 24 minutes to walk a Mil, the difference between the times of Rabah and Rav Yosef is 2 minutes.

2a)[line 2]חילופה בחלתאCHILUFAH B'CHALASA- [the rulings of Rabah and Rav Yosef] are switched in the case of a large cylindrical bee hive or basket. Whereas in the case of Bein ha'Shemashos, Rabah states the longer time (3) and Rav Yosef the shorter (2), in the bee hive or basket, Rav Yosef states the larger size (3) and Rabah the smaller (2).

b)[line 3]בת תרי כוריBAS TREI KOREI- able to hold two Kor (sixty Se'ah)

3)[line 8]כוורת הקשKAVERES HA'KASH- a straw basket or bee hive

6)[line 10]שוליםSHULAYIM- bottom

7)[line 10]שהן כוריים ביבשSHE'HEN KORAYIM B'YAVESH- which can hold two Kor (sixty Se'ah) of dry measure

8)[line 11]האי גודשא תילתא הויHAI GUDSHA TILSA HEVI- the heaping measure (that which sticks out above the rim of the utensil) is equal to a third [of the ensuing total] (i.e. it adds another half of the volume of the utensil when measuring dry things)

9)[line 12]קא דאוי למערבKA DAVI L'MA'ARAV- he was looking out towards the western sky

10)[line 14]פנים המאדימין את המזרחPANIM HA'MA'ADIMIN ES HA'MIZRACH- The side of the sky that makes the eastern horizon red. (That is, the arrival of Shabbos can be discerned on both sides of the horizon (RITVA). The words "Pnei Mizrach" in the Mishnah, however, mean "Ma'arav" (which faces Mizrach). Although the eastern side also turns red, the clearer sign is the western redness (RITVA, see also MAHARAM).)

11)[line 17]סימניך כוותאSIMANICH KAVSA- it is comparable to (lit. its sign is) a window

12)[line 19]הרוצה לידע שיעורו של רבי נחמיהHA'ROTZEH LEIDA SHI'URO SHEL REBBI NECHEMYAH- That is, although Rebbi Nechemyah gives a very clear Shi'ur in the Mishnah, the Gemara wants to describe the Shi'ur in terms of the time it takes to perform a Tevilah, so that people will be able to time their Tevilah to finish before Bein ha'Shemashos. (This is the view of TOSFOS. According to this explanation, the Gemara is easier to understand if the end of the Tevilah coincides with the beginning of Bein ha'Shemashos, as Tosfos indeed explains. RASHI, in contrast, explains the Gemara according to its simple reading, that the end of the Tevilah coincides with the end of Bein ha'Shemashos, and its beginning coincides with the beginning of Bein ha'Shemashos. Nevertheless, the Gemara may be describing the Shi'ur of Rebbi Nechemyah in terms of Tevilah, for those who want to time their Tevilah to finish before Bein ha'Shemashos begins. -M.Kornfeld)

13)[line 19]יניח חמה בראש הכרמלYANI'ACH CHAMAH B'ROSH HA'KARMEL- (The name "Karmel" in this Sugya clearly does not refer to the Har ha'Karmel which lies along the Haifa coast, since the person in the case of the Gemara is watching the sun set to the west of Karmel, and then he goes to the Mikvah to the east of the mountain. Rather, it is a mountain to the west of Teveryah, from which one can see Lake Kineret to the East, as Rabeinu Chananel explains. This is equally evident from the fact that the well of Miriam is visible from the top of the Karmel, since we know that the well of Miriam is hidden in Lake Kineret.)

14)[line 23]כמין כברהKEMIN KEVARAH- like a sieve
