ושל בעלי בתים טהורות – that they don’t have the shape of a vessel.

סרקן (painted/colored them red) – beautify them with red paint, and it is ששר/red paint, vermillion in the language of Scripture, and "משוח בששר"/painted with vermillion (Jeremiah 22:14). In Arabic it is ZANGPOR and in the foreign language it is MINIV.

דף של נחתונים (baker’s board) – a metal board, for if it were a wooden board, plain wooden boards are not susceptible to receive ritual impurity. But even though they are impure according to the Rabbis, when it is affixed on the wall, it is ritually pure according to the words of all.

סרוד (frame) it is סרידה/the coarse web or matting/stuffed matting used for stoppers of stoves as is taught in the Mishnah above (see Tractate Kelim, Chapter 8, Mishnah 3, Chapter 9, Mishnah 7 and Chapter 10, Mishnah 7) in several places, and it is a small trough that the bakers use, as it we translate in Aramaic for "את בגדי השרד" /”the service/plaited vestments”(Exodus 31:10) ית לבושי שימושא/the clothing that is used in service/ministration.

להיות קורץ עליו – that is to say, to make an incision of the dough on it. It is the language of (Job 33:6): “I too was nipped from clay.”

טמא – for Rabbi Shimon holds because just as the frame of the baker is ritually impure that they nip upon it the dough and cast upon it from that which is nipped to the oven, also of those belonging to house-owners, if they arranged it so that he would be separating upon it the dough and to carry up on it from that which is nipped to the oven, it would be ritually impure. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Shimon.

ים נפה (receiver of flour at sifting or in the mill) – a woven curtain from the gate to remove the clean fine flour from the bran flour. But because there is surrounding the curtain a crown of a tall board, it is called a ים/a receiver of flour at sifting, like there is dry land surrounding the sea.

מפני שהבנות – the young women who have their heads dressed they place them within the receiver of flour at sifting or in the mill, to receive what might fall from their heads from the sandy matter in grain and the tangles and scabs of the head formed through uncleanliness. And the Halakha is according to Rabbi Yehuda.
