Shabbos Graphic #6

Shabbos Daf 103b

==========
FOOTNOTES:
==========
(1) ALFIN AYININ: If the lower leg of the Alef becomes detached, the upper part of the letter looks like a backwards Ayin (RAMBAN, RASHBA, RITVA, RAN). (According to Rashi, on the other hand, the *forms* of the two letters will not become confused. Instead, since the Alef and Ayin have similar pronunciations, one may write one instead of the other.)
(2) GAMIN TZADIN - If the top of the Gimel is very thin and the right leg is too wide and does not extend to a point lower than the left leg, the Gimel will look like an upside-down Tzadi Sofis (SEFER HA'TERUMAH, at the end of Hilchos Tefilin)
(3) GAMIN TZADIN - Alternatively, if the top of the Gimel is made very wide and the right leg turns away from the left leg, the Gimel will look like an upside-down Tzadi (RITVA, in the name of his Rebbi)
(4) TESIN PEIFIN - If the left side of the Tes is detached from the right side, the right side will look like a Pei (RAMBAN)
(5) TESIN PEIFIN - Alternatively, if the right side of the letter is extended too low inside the Tes, the letter will look like a sideways Pei (RISHONIM);
(6) TESIN PEIFIN - A third explanation is that if the right side of the letter extends too much to the right inside the Tes, the right side will look like a Pei (MIKDASH ME'AT)
