התורמל. כיס גדול של עור שהרועה נותן חפציו לתוכו, ובתוך התורמל יש כיסין קטנים כמו המגורות בתיבה:
החמת. נאד של עור:
שהביצים שלה מקבלות עמה. כשמפשיטין עורות האילים והתישים הזכרים נשאר העור שבמקום הביצים כמין כיס קטן, ואם נפחתו טהורות, דבטל בית קיבול שלהן:
Mishnah 2
Mishnayos Keilim Perek 19 Mishnah 9
כלים פרק י"ט משנה ט׳
Bartenura
שפתחה מצדה (that was damaged from its side) – When it was damaged from above, it was not impure by treading, for if he sat upon it and comes to use it, they say to him: “Stand and let us do our work.” But when it was damaged from the side, it is possible to use it even though he sits upon it.
בזמן שאינה גבוהה עשרה טפחים – when it is ten [handbreadths] high, it is not appropriate for sitting all that much.
או שאין לה לזבז (or when it does not have a vertical rim/edge – buy which a flat vessel is made into a vessel-like receptacle) – when it has a vertical rim which damages the person who sits upon it.
נפתחה מלמטן – at its rim/bottom. It is not appropriate for use, but is appropriate for sitting.
מפני שבטל העקר (because the primary purpose was annulled) – the primary purpose of the box is that its made to support its rim what one places within it, and through that, it is called a vessel. But because its rim was damaged and it was nullified, also its walls from above are nullified and it no longer receives any form of defilement. And the Halakha is according to the Sages.
שפתחה מצדה. כשפתחה מלמעלה אינה טמאה מדרס, דאם ישב עליה ובאים להשתמש בה אומרים לו עמוד ונעשה מלאכתנו. אבל כשפתחה מן הצד, יכול להשתמש אע״פ שיושב עליה:
בזמן שאינה גבוהה עשרה טפחים. כשגבוהה עשרה לא חזיא לישיבה כולי האי:
או שאין לה לזבז. דכשיש לה לזבז מזיק ליושב:
נפחתה מלמטן. בשוליה. לא חזיא לתשמיש, אבל חזיא לישיבה:
מפני שבטל העקר. עיקר התיבה היא עשויה להחזיק בשוליה מה שמשימים בתוכה. ועל ידם היא נקראת כלי. וכיון שנפחתו שוליה ובטלו, בטלו גם דפנותיה מלמעלן ושוב אינה מקבלת שום טומאה. והלכה כחכמים:
