המקפה והחמיטה. דרכן היה להניח החמיטה, שהיא עוגה דקה כמין רקיק, בתוך המקפה:
חיבץ. היינו שעירב המקפה והחמיטה עם השמן, ומכל מקום השמן ניכר. והא דפסיל בכל מקום שהילך השמן, לפי שאין יכולין להפרידו מן המקפה ומן החמיטה:

Mishnayos Tevul Yom Perek 2 Mishnah 5
טבול יום פרק ב׳ משנה ה׳
Bartenura
בשר הקודש שקרם עליו הקיפה (sacred flesh on the top of which a layer of jelly was formed – as a crust) – the spices and the soup and the fat of the meat congealed upon it, that it was softened and everything became like a kind of crust.
החתיכות מותרות – for the crust is not a connection/junction.
וכל העולים עימה – is considered connected to it, but the rest is ritually pure.
שניהם חיבור – and whether he touched the jelly or whether he touched the pieces [of meat], he has invalidated everything. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Yohanan ben Nuri.
ווכן בקטניות (and so in the case of pulse) – of bread that we place on the pulse.
מעשה קדרה בקטניות (that which is cooked in the cooking pot and pulse) – that is to say, pulse that was cooked in a cooking pot, and it is their manner to be split/burst apart. And when they cook well, they attach/connect and become a kind of lump/clod. And there are those who have the reading (instead of "מעשה קדרה בקטניות" /”that which is cooked in the cooking pot in pulse,” [the reading}: "מעשה קדירה וקטניות"/”that which is cooked in the cooking pot and pulse.
הרי אלו ימנו (lo, they are counted – if there are many masses of pulse) – if the unclean reptile touched one of them, it is first [degree of ritual uncleanness], and the clod/lump that is adjacent to it is second [degree of ritual uncleanness], and the other that is adjacent/next to the second [degree of ritual uncleanness] is third-degree uncleanness of heave-offering/priest’s due.
שניהן חיבור זה לזה – but if the person who had immersed himself that day/Tevul Yom touched one of them, its neighbor is invalidated. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Yohanan ben Nuri.
בשר הקודש שקרם עליו הקיפה. קפאו עליו התבלין והמרק ושומן הבשר, שנימוח ונעשה הכל כמין קרום:
החתיכות מותרות. דלא הוי הקרום חיבור:
וכל העולים עמה. חשיב מחובר לה. והשאר טהור:
שניהם חיבור. ובין שנגע בקיפה בין שנגע בחתיכות, פסל הכול. ואין הלכה כר׳ יוחנן בן נורי:
על גבי פרוסות. של לחם שמניחין על הקטניות:
מעשה קדירה בקטניות. כלומר, קטניות שנתבשלו בקדירה ודרכן להתבקע, וכשמתבשלות יפה מתחברות ונעשות כמין גוש. ויש שגורסין, מעשה קדירה וקטניות:
הרי אלו ימנו. אם נגע שרץ באחד מהן, הרי הוא ראשון. והגוש הסמוך לו שני, והאחר הסמוך לשני שלישי בתרומה:
שניהן חיבור זה לזה. ואם נגע טבול יום באחד מהן, נפסל חבירו. ואין הלכה כר׳ יוחנן בן נורי:

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.

המקפה והחמיטה (the porridge and the batter of which flat cakes are made) – it was their manner to place the batter of which flat cakes are made, which is a thin cake like a kind of wafer, within the porridge.
חיבץ (he – the unclean person- stirred) – that is that he mixed/combined the porridge and the batter of which flat cakes are made with the oil, but anyway, the oil is recognized. And surely it invalidates in every place that the oil goes, because it is impossible to separate it from the porridge and from the batter of which flat cakes are made.
