אהלות פרק ט"ו משנה א׳
Bartenura
סגוס עבה (a thick coarse woolen blanket) – This Mishnah was explained above (i.e., Chapter 11) in the chapter "הבית שנסדק"/The house that was split [Mishnah 3]. And since it is necessary to teach about boards/planks, it is taught once again here.
ואם היו של שיש – even if the larger one was a handbreadth above the ground, it is not considered a tent to bring the defilement, since the lower one reduces the airspace because they are considered like the ground. But boards/planks of wood are not considered like the ground at the time when the upper one is a handbreadth higher than the ground, even though the lower one reduces the airspace, the upper one brings the defilement.
סגוס עבה. הך מתניתין פירשנוה לעיל בפרק הבית שנסדק [משנה ג׳]. ואיידי דבעי למתני טבליות, הדר תניא הכא:
