אמת המים שאינה יכולה להקצר כאחת. שהיא רחבה כל כך עד שהעומד באמצע אינו יכול לקצור מכאן ומכאן:
ר׳ יהודה אומר מפסקת. ופליג את״ק דאמר לעיל על שלולית דהיינו אמת המים דבכל ענין מפסיק, ור׳ יהודה סבר דאם יכולה להקצר כאחת אינה מפסקת. והלכה כר׳ יהודה:
וכל ההרים אשר במעדר יעדרון. הר שחודו זקוף ואין בקר בכליו יכולין לעבור שם, ומפסיק בין שתי השדות:
הוא נותן פאה לכל. כלומר נותן פאה אחת לכל שתי השדות ולא חשיב הפסק. הואיל והם נעדרים במעדר, כלומר שבני אדם חופרים אותו הר בכלי שחופרים בו את הקרקע, אין זה הפסק. שהרואה אומר אין זה קרקע בור אלא למחר חופרים אותו במעדר וזורעים אותו ושתי השדות הם אחת:

Mishnayos Peah Perek 2 Mishnah 3
פאה פרק ב׳ משנה ג׳
Bartenura
הכל מפסיק לזרעים – It is explains in the Gemara of the Jerusalem Talmud (Peah 17a) that the word הכל/all of these – includes a rock hat would pass over the face of the entire field. If it is necessary to uproot the plough from this side in order to place it on that side, one makes a division.
אלא גדר – ten handbreadths high.
שער כותש – the branches of a tree are called שער. And the explanation is a thick hair crown, i.e., ramifications forming a sort of arbor – that the boughs of the trees combine one with the other above from the fence like these leaves that are caught in the mortar-shaped cavity. [The Gemara asks: Does this mean, like the pestle in the mortar (i.e., the partition is formed by a depression in the ground between the two fields, out of which the fence rises), or does it mean, pressing up (overgrowing) the fence? The ‘hair (ramification) presses, and not the ‘fence presence’, it is evident that it means overgrowing the fence.’].
הכל מפסיק לזרעים. מפרש בגמרא בירושלמי דהכל לאתויי סלע שהיה עובר על פני כל השדה. אם צריך הוא לעקור את המחרישה מצד זה כדי לתת אותה לצד זה, מפסיק:
אלא גדר. גבוה עשרה טפחים:
שער כותש. ענפי האילן קרויין שער. ופירוש שער כותש, שהנופות של אילנות מתערבין זה עם זה למעלה מן הגדר כעלי זה התקוע במכתש:
