מריש. קורה גדולה שבונים בבירה וראשי קורות הגג כולן סמוכות עליה, והיא מונחת על גבי עמודים:
מלבן. כמין ריבוע של קורות קבועות בארץ:
צנור. מרזב של מים:
אע״פ שהוא עשוי בחבלים. שאינו קבוע בארץ אלא קשור בחבלים ואין כוחו יפה כל כך:
הים. היקף של עץ שהקמח מתקבץ בו בשעת הטחינה:
אצטרובל. עיגול של עץ שמעמידין הריחים עליו. ושניהן קבועים הן:
חמור של ריחים של יד. בנין של עצים שהריחים של יד קבועים בהן:
וסאה של ריחים. מדה גדולה וקבועה בקרקע:
קורת הבלנין. קורה שבעל המרחץ יושב עליה. וכל הני אם הקיש עליהן הזב ונפל הככר של תרומה מכח ההיקש, טהור, דכוחן יפה ולא חשיב היסט. ובקורת הבלנים נחלקו. ואין הלכה כר׳ יוסי:

מנעול – that they close the door with it (i.e., a lock).

הנגר. יתד הנעוץ אחורי הדלת בנקב שבאסקופה:
מנעול. שסוגרים בו הפתח:
משוט. שמנהיגין בו את הספינה. ולשון מקרא הוא, כל תופשי משוט, ביחזקאל (כז כט):

טמאין. דכל הני אין כוחן יפה, וכוח היקש הזב בהו חשיב היסט:
מטהרים באלו. אשידה תיבה ומגדל קאי. להכי תנינהו תנא קמא לחודייהו. ואין הלכה כרבי נחמיה ורבי שמעון:
Mishnah Yomi FAQ
What is Mishnah Yomi?

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. The idea of studying two Mishnayos daily gained the support of figures like Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer, the Tchebiner Rov, and the Gerer Rebbe, marking the formal inception of Mishnah Yomi.

מריש – a large beam that they build in the group of buildings forming one residence and the tops of the beams of the roof all of which are dependent upon it, and it is placed on top of the pillars (see also the Bartenura commentary of Tractate Gittin, Chapter 5, Mishnah 5 that defines מריש as a beam and בירה as a large house).
מלבן (frame) – like a kind of square of beams affixed in the ground.
צנור – water pipe/spout, duct
אע"פ שהוא עשוי בחבלים – which is not affixed in the ground, but tied with ropes, but it is not so strong.
ועל הים (flour mill’s container) – a circumference/surface of wood that the flour is gathered in it at the time of grinding.
אצטרובל (lower millstone – which is immovable – included in the sale of a home) – a round mold of wood that they place the millstone upon it. And both are fixed.
חמור של רחים של יד (jack of a hand mill) – a wood building that the hand millstone is affixed in them.
וסאה של ריחים (an olive grinder’s Seah measure) – a large measure and it is affixed in the ground.
וקורות הבלנין (beams whereon the bathing masters are stationed) – a beam that the master of the bathhouse sits upon. And all of these, if the person with gonorrhea/the Zav knocked against and the loaf of priest’s due/Terumah fell in from the strength/power of the knocking, it is ritually pure, for they are very strong and it is not considered shaking/moving. But regarding the beams whereon the bathing masters are stationed, they disagreed. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Yossi.
