כיצד. לאו אפלוגתא קאי אלא מילתא באנפי נפשה, ואיבם אחד ויבמה אחת קאי. והכי קאמר, כיצד דין יבם אחד ויבמה אחת:

Mishnah 2
Mishnayos Yevamos Perek 5 Mishnah 3
יבמות פרק ה׳ משנה ג׳
Bartenura
נתן גט ועשה בה מאמר צריכה גט וחליצה – that the Jewish bill of divorce supersedes part [of the marriage] and retains part, and the statement [of intention of marriage by a levir] acquires the remnant of the Jewish bill of divorce, therefore, she requires a Jewish bill of divorce for his (i.e., the levir’s) statement [of intention] and Halitzah for the levirate connection.
נתן גט ובעל – it is prohibited to sustain her [in marriage] since from the time that he gave a Jewish bill of divorce , he fulfills, regarding her (Deuteronomy 25:9): “who will not build up [his brother’s house],” and she requires a Jeiwsh bill of divorce for his coition and Halitzah for the levirate connection.
אין לאחר חליצה כלום – This Mishnah is according to Rabbi Akiva, who stated, that Kiddushin/betrothal does not take effect with those who a liable for negative commandments, but it is not the Halakha. Rather, the Halakha is according to the Sages who state that there is nothing after Halitzah, and if he betrothed her after Halitzah, she requires from him a Jewish bill of divorce.
אחד יבמה אחת ליבם אחד ואחד שתי יבמות ליבם אחד – they are both equivalent for there is after the first Jewish bill of divorce or after the first statement [of intention of the Levir] nothing, but after the coition at the beginning, there is nothing, and there is nothing after Halitzah.
נתן גט ועשה בה מאמר צריכה גט וחליצה. דגט דחי קצת ושייר קצת ומאמר קני שיורא דגט, הלכך צריכה גט למאמרו וחליצה לזיקתו:
נתן גט ובעל. אסור לקיימה, שמשעה שנתן גט קיימא עליה בלא יבנה, וצריכה גט לביאתו וחליצה לזיקתו:
אין אחר חליצה כלום. הא מתניתין ר׳ עקיבא היא דאמר אין קדושין תופסין בחייבי לאוין. ואינה הלכה, אלא הלכה כחכמים שאומרים יש אחר חליצה כלום, ואם קידשה אחר חליצה צריכה הימנו גט:
אחד יבמה אחת ליבם אחד ואחד שתי יבמות ליבם אחד. שוין הן שיש אחר גט ראשון או אחר מאמר ראשון כלום ואין אחר ביאה שבתחלה כלום ואין אחר חליצה כלום:

כיצד – this does not refer to the dispute, but rather, it is a matter of its own, referring to one levir and one widow whose husband died without children, and this is what he said: In what case is the law of one levir and one Yevamah/widow whose husband died without children?
צריכה הימנו חליצה – if he wanted to consummate a marriage by conducting a woman to his house/to wed, he should not do so for since he had begun the Jewish divorce, it is fulfilled for him through [the Biblical verse] (Deuteronomy 25:9) “who will not build up [his brother’s house].”
צריכה ממנו גט – for Halitzah causes a release from her levirate relationship and the Jewish bill of divorce need to cancel his Kiddushin/betrothal for Halitzah has no legal effect on Kiddushin/betrothal.
