הוצני פשתן. כמו שנעקר הפשתן מן השדה נקרא הוצני, שעומד כמו הוצין:
שני גרגרים. ענבים:
אלו כדברי ב״ה. וטעמייהו משום דכתיב (ויקרא י״ט:י׳) לעני ולגר תעזוב אותם, חד לעני וחד לגר, הרי שנים. ובית שמאי אמרי שלשה לעניים וארבעה לבעל הבית. דכתיב (דברים כ״ד:י״ט) לגר ליתום ולאלמנה יהיה, הרי שלשה לעניים:

פאה פרק ו׳ משנה ו׳
Bartenura
העומר שיש בו סאתים אינו שכחה – as it is written (Deuteronomy 24:19): “Do not turn back to get it,” Omer that you can lift it all up as one and carry it on his shoulders, excluding this of two Se’ah that you are not able to life all of it as one.
אמרו לו יפה כחו – as we have said, two is forgotten; three is not forgotten.
לא אם אמרת בעומר אחד שהוא בגדיש – the law is that one Omer that contains two Se’ah, there will not be any forgetting, because it is like a grain heap, and forgetting does not belong with a pile.
תאמר בשני עמרים – which are like the other small Omer piles.
ככריכות – in small bundles.
העומר שיש בו סאתים אינו שכחה. דכתיב (שם) לא תשוב לקחתו, עומר שאתה יכול להגביהו כולו כאחת ולשאת אותו על כתפו, יצא זה של סאתים שאי אתה יכול להגביה כולו כאחת:
אמרו לו יפה כחו. כדאמרינן שתים שכחה שלש אינן שכחה:
לא אם אמרת בעומר אחד שהוא כגדיש. דין הוא שעומר אחד שיש בו סאתים לא יהיה שכחה, מפני שהוא כגדיש ואין שייך שכחה בגדיש:
תאמר בשני עמרים. שהם כמו שאר עמרים קטנים:
ככריכות. כאגודות קטנות:

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.
