מחולחלת. שהדפנות נקובות בפותח טפח. שרגילים לעשות נקבים בדפנות הכוורת כדי שיכנסו הדבורים ויצאו, ופעמים שהנקבים פקוקים בקש אלא דהפקק לא מיהדק:
היתה פחותה. שנפחתה ונתבטלה מתורת כלי:
ופקוקה בקש. במקום הפחיתה. ודפנותיה שלימות שאינה מחולחלת:
או אפוצה. או אפילו אין דפנותיה שלימות אלא שאפוצה. כלומר סתומה במקום שהיא מחולחלת ואין בה חלחול טפח:

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.
