כיסוי כדי יין וכו׳ וכל המשמש כיסוי בכלי חרס, טהור, דתוכו כתיב, והאי לאו תוך דידיה הוא:
וכסוי חביות נייריות. על שם מקומן. ולרבותא נקטינהו, מפני שהיה לכיסוי חביות שלהן בית קיבול. ואית דגרסי והניירות, כלומר, הניירות שמכסים בהן פי הצלוחית:
הלפס. כמו אלפס. מחבת גדולה שמבשלים בה בשר וירק, ועושים לה כסוי של חרס. וכשהוא נקוב אינו ראוי לכלום, ואפילו אינו נקוב ויש לו חידוד אין יכול לישב מפני החידוד, אבל כשאינו נקוב ואף אין לו חידוד, טמא, שראוי להפכו ולהושיבו, ואשה נותנת בתוכו ירק לסננו להמצות ממנו המים:
הרונקי. הירקות לאחר שנתבשלו ודבוקים זה בזה ונעשים גוף אחד נקראים רונקי. והיא מלה יונית:

Mishnayos Keilim Perek 2 Mishnah 6
כלים פרק ב׳ משנה ו׳
Bartenura
גסטרא (a defective vessel – handles broken off or cracked) – fragments/broken earthenware vessels. And the thing divided into two, it is called גיסטרא /defective vessel (see Tractate Kelim, Chapter 4, Mishnah 3 for a definition: כל שנטלו אזניה/when its handles are split/broken off. And the language of גיסטרא is divided into two.
שנמצאת בכבשן – and we don’t know if it was broken prior to its being baked in the kiln/furnace and at the time when its manufacture was complete it did not have the status of a utensil/vessel upon it and not further on, it does defile because it is a defective vessel, or afterwards it was broken and defiles. But how do we verify the matter? We see if its shards are equivalent and its inside grows red, it is known that its manufacture was completed [first] and afterwards it became broken, and it defiles, for it was made to be a receptacle, for it is the manner to place a defective vessel underneath the jug/arched, pouched vessel to receive the liquid that drips from it.
טיטרוס (a perforated vessel, strainer, sprinkler) – a vessel which is perforated from below with many thin holes like the size of the hole of a needle and from above one hole like the size of a reed, that is a spindle that the women spin on, and when they fill it with water and a person places his finger in the hole from above so that the wind will not reach it no drop of water goes out from the small holes from below, but when he removes his finger, the water comes out.
ר' אלעזר בר צדוק מטהר – because it is perforated where the liquid enters.
ורבי יוסי מטמא – for this is the manner of how it is used, and it is considered a receptacle since the waters stand through the placing of the finger, but even without the placing of the finger, the water doesn’t leave other than like removing coins little by little, drop after drop., and because of this, it is not considered perforated like when brings in liquid to be purified through this And the Halakha is according to Rabbi Yossi.
גסטרא. שבר כלי חרס. ודבר שנחלק לשנים קרוי גסטרא. ולשון גסטרא, גיסי תרי:
שנמצאת בכבשן. ולא ידעינן אם נשבר קודם שנצרף בכבשן ובשעה שנגמרה מלאכתו לא היה תורת כלי עליו ותו לא מטמא משום גסטרא, או אחר כך נשבר ומטמא. וכיצד מבררים את הדבר, רואין אם היו שבריה שוין ותוכה מאדים, בידוע שנגמרה מלאכתה ואח״כ נשברה, ומטמאה, דעביד לקיבול, שדרך לתת גסטרא תחת החבית לקבל המשקה הנוטף ממנה:
טיטרוס. כלי שהוא מנוקב מלמטה נקבים הרבה דקים כמלוא נקב מחט ומלמעלה נקב אחד כמלוא כוש, דהיינו פלך שהנשים טוות בו, וכשממלאים אותו מים ואדם משים אצבעו בנקב מלמעלה שלא ישלוט בו הרוח אין טפה אחת יוצאת מן הנקבים דקים שלמטה, וכשמסיר אצבעו המים יוצאים:
ר׳ אליעזר בר צדוק מטהר. לפי שנקוב בכונס משקה:
ורבי יוסי מטמא. שכך הוא דרך תשמישו, וחשיב בית קיבול הואיל והמים עומדים על ידי הנחת אצבע, ואפילו בלא הנחת אצבע אין המים יוצאים אלא כמוציא פרוטות מעט מעט טפה אחר טפה, ומשום הכי לא חשיב נקוב ככונס משקה ליטהר בכך. והלכה כר׳ יוסי:

After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah.

כיסוי כדי יין וכו' – and all who use the covering with earthenware vessels, is pure, for it is written (Leviticus 11:33): “And anything on which one of them (i.e., an article of wood, or a cloth, or a skin or a sack) falls into/תוכו an earthenware vessel, everything inside it shall be unclean,” but this is not inside it.
וכיסוי חביות נייריות (and covers of a papyrus jars) – for the sake of their place, and for something remarkable it was taken, because it was for a covering of their jars a receptacle, and there are those who have the reading "והניירות"/and for the papyrus, that is to say, the papyrus that they bring into them the mouth of the flask (i.e., bottle with a wide belly and a narrow neck).
הלפס – like a tightly-covered stew-pot/אלפס. A large pan that they cook meat and vegetables in it. And they use it as a covering for earthenware. But when it is perforated, it is not appropriate for anything, and even when it is not perforated, but it (i.e., the lid) has a pointed knob (which prevents the use of it separately as a receptacle) it is not able to sit because of the pointed knob, but when it is not perforated, even if it doesn’t have a pointed knob, it is impure, for it is appropriate to turn it over and to cause it to stand, and a woman places into it vegetables to filter/drain it and to drain the water from it.
הרונקי (contents of a pot upturned and emptied – on a flat vessel to cool off) – the vegetables after they have been cooked and attached to each other and they have become one body, are called רונקי, and it is a Greek word.
