שנימוק מקצתו אין מצטרף. דמה שנימוק אינו חשוב אוכל, כיון שנתמסמס ואינו ראוי לאכילה:
הפטמא של רימון. כמין דד יוצא בראש הרמון, והוא הנקרא פטמא. וסביב הפטמא כמין פרח ירוק שיש בו חוטים דקים, והן קרויין נץ. וסביבות אותן החוטים כעין כוס וראשו עשוי לתלפיות, והוא קרוי מסרק, מפני שיש לו שינים כמסרק:
אף המסרק טהור. שאם יחתך מן הפרי, אין מתגלים הגלעינים בכך, הלכך לא הוי שומר. אבל הפטמא, אם יחתכוה עד שרשה, יתגלו הגרעינים ויפסד הפרי. ואין הלכה כרבי אליעזר:
Mishnah 2
Mishnayos Uktzin Perek 2 Mishnah 4
עוקצים פרק ב׳ משנה ד׳
Bartenura
כל הקליפין (all the husks/skins) – as for example, the shells of nuts and almonds and pomegranates and shells of eggs, are considered as a protector to the food, and combines/joins with the food to complete to make up the measurement to be susceptible to receive ritual defilement. But however, a moist upper shell that is upon nuts at the time of their harvest, does not combine, for it is not considered a protector, for there is no protector on top of a protector.
קדורה (perforated) – perforated, it is the language of מקדרים בהרים/estimating the level distance between two places separated by mountains that is taught in the Mishnah in [Tractate] Eruvin (Chapter 5, Mishnah 4 – Talmud Eruvin 58a – measuring Sabbath elevations are considered as cut through). But something cut through/perforated does not combine, because it doesn’t protect when it is perforated and severed/cut.
והחיצונה – it is the thin shell that falls on its own, when we handle the onion. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Yehuda.
כל הקליפין. כגון קליפי אגוזים ושקדים ורמונים וקליפי ביצים, חשיבי שומר לאוכל, ומצטרפין עם האוכל להשלימו לכשיעור לקבל טומאה. ומיהו קליפה לחה העליונה שעל האגוזים בשעת לקיטתן, אינה מצטרפת, דלא חשיבא שומר, שאין שומר על גבי שומר:
קדורה. נקובה. לשון מקדרים בהרים כדתנן בעירובין. וקדורה אינה מצטרפת, לפי שאינה שומרת כשהיא נקובה וחתוכה:
והחיצונה. היא הקליפה הדקה הנופלת מאליה כשממשמשין בבצל. ואין הלכה כרבי יהודה:

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.

שנימוק מקצתו אין מצטרף (that was partially rotted, does not combine)- for what has rotted is not considered food/edible, since it became in a state of dissolution and it is not worthy of consumption.
הפטמא של רימון (the protuberance on the blossom-end of pomegranates) – like a kind of nipple that extends at the top of the pomegranate and it is called פטמא/protuberance, and around the protuberance is like a kind of green flower that has thin threads. And they are called נץ/blossom, sprouting . And around those threads are a something similar to a cup and its head is made in turrets/fortress. And it is called a מסרק/the crown of a pomegranate, because it has teeth like a comb/indented attachment to a plant.
אף המסרק טהור – that if it severs/cuts from the fruit, the globule/stone or kernel of the stone fruit is not revealed through this, therefore, it is not a protector. Even the protuberance, if one severed it until its root, it would reveal the globules/stones and destroy the fruit. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Eliezer.
