המקלף. מסיר קליפתן:
מקלף אחת אחת. שעורה אחת. ודוקא כשאינו סמוך לגורן אבל אם היה סמוך לגורן אפילו קילף יותר פטור, מפני שהוא מחזיר את המותר:
המולל מלילות. המהבהב שבולין באור וממעכן בידו להסיר הפסולת:
מנפה. להפריח המוץ:
מיד ליד. מנערן מידו אחת לידו האחרת:
ירקה פטור. שהזרע עיקר וירקה לא חשיב אא״כ כוון לירק:
מתעשרת זרע וירק. חייב לעשר בין אכל הזרע בין אכל העלין ירק כמות שהן:
השבת. כך שמה בערבי, ובלע״ז אניט״ו.
וזירים. זמורות, ואפילו זרעה סתם מתעשרת זרע וירק וזירים, לפי שהשבת עושה זמורות ארוכות. אבל הכוסבר אינה מתעשרת זירים אא״כ זרעה תחלה לזירים:
אינו מתעשר זרע וירק. אם זרע סתם ולא פירש:
השחלים. בערבי חב אל שאר, ובלע״ז קרישון:
הגרגיר. כך שמו בערבי, ובלע״ז אירוג״א. והלכה כחכמים:

Mishnayos Maasros Perek 4 Mishnah 6
מעשרות פרק ד׳ משנה ו׳
Bartenura
התמרות של תלתן – there are those who explain it as sprouts of fenugreek, similar to what vines have and they are eaten. And there are those wo interpret that when the calyx/capsule of plants begins to grow, it appears in the place of its growth like a sort of thick berry, and it is called a fruit-like excrescence on leaves, berry as we state [Tractate Sukkah 33a] concerning the myrtle whose head is lopped off and an excrescence ascended upon it, and on fenugreek and mustard seed and white bean, they are considered food.
הצלף (caper-bush/tree) – KAPRI – in the foreign language.
תמרות – the sprouts that are on it, and there are those who interpret, the flower.
האביונות (caper-tree/caper berry) – which is the essence of the fruit, and the flowers of the caper-bush which protect the fruit.
ר"ע וכו' – and the Halakha is according to Rabbi Akiva.
התמרות של תלתן. יש מפרשים לולבי תלתן, כעין שיש לגפנים, והן נאכלים. וי״מ כשמתחיל הגבעול לצמוח נראה במקום צמיחתו כמין גרגיר עב ונקרא תמרה כדאמרינן [סוכה לג] גבי הדס נקטם ראשו ועלתה בו תמרה. ובתלתן וחרדל ופול הלבן חשובין אוכל:
הצלף בלע״ז קאפר״י:
תמרות. לולבין שבו, ויש מפרשים הפרח:
אביונות. הוא עיקר הפרי, וקפריסין הוא שומר הפרי:
ר״ע וכו׳ והלכה כרבי עקיבא:

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.
