אהלות פרק י"א משנה ג׳
Bartenura
סגוס (a coarse woolen blanket, mattress to sleep on) - a very thick woolen cloth.
וכוסת – a thick beam. Even though it is high, its thickness is more than a handbreadth.
אין מביאין את הטומאה – if he placed them on the ground opposite the split that is in the ceiling of the portico, unless there is underneath them a cavity of a handbreadth.
קפולין – like a folded cloak/Tallit. Many clothes are folded one upon the other.
עד שתהא העליונה גבוהה מן הארץ טפח – and even though that the clothes are placed underneath it, the upper one brings the defilement, since it is a handbreadth above the ground.
היה אדם נתון שם – on the ground opposite the split.
חלול – avity of the body is considered as a cavity, even though that his intestines are within it.
סגוס. בגד צמר עב מאוד:
וכופת. קורה עבה. אע״פ שגובה עוביין יותר מטפח,
אינן מביאין את הטומאה. אם נתנן בארץ כנגד הסדק שבתקרת האכסדרה, אלא אם כן יש תחתיהן חלל טפח:
קפולין. כמו טלית מקופלת. בגדים הרבה מקופלים זו על זו:
עד שתהיה העליונה גבוהה מן הארץ טפח. ואע״פ שהבגדים נתונים תחתיה העליונה מביאה את הטומאה, הואיל וגבוהה מן הארץ טפח:
היה אדם נתון שם. בארץ כנגד הסדק:
חלול. חלל הגוף נחשב חלל אע״פ שבני מעיו לתוכו:

In 1934, the Kozoglover Gaon, Rav Aryeh Tzvi Frommer, who took over from Rav Meir Shapiro (the founder of Daf Yomi) as the head of Yeshivas Chachmei Lublin, initiated the Mishnah Yomi cycle, focusing on Seder Zeraim and Seder Taharos. 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.
