אזן לקופה. לאוחזה בה:
תלאי. לתלותו בו, ובציר משיעור אזן לקופה:
מדת מנעל. להראות לאומן כמדה זו אני צריך, ושעוריה בציר מתלאי:
נייר. מעשבים עושין אותו:
קשר של מוכסין. פעמים שאדם נותן מכס בראש הנהר מזה והוא מוסר לו חותם להראות למוכס שבעבר האחר מן הנהר להראותו שכבר פרע המכס, ודרכו לכתוב שתי אותיות גדולות לסימן, והן גדולות משתי אותיות שלנו:
נייר מחוק. שוב אינו ראוי לכתוב, לפיכך צריך שיעור גדול לכרוך על פי צלוחית:

Bartenura
לעשות בו קמיע – to cove with it the amulet.
קלף כדי לכתוב [עליו] פרשה קטנה – for since his ink was expensive, he didn’t make from it the tax-collector’s receipt but rather [only] Tefillin and Mezuzot and he was not liable for a small measure.
דיו כדי לכתוב שתי אותיות – to mark on two segments of a utensil or on two boards to couple them.
בדי לכחול עין אחת – for modest women who walk wrapped up do not reveal other than one eye and they color/paint it.
לעשות בו קמיע. לכסות בו את הקמיע:
קלף כדי לכתוב [עליו] פרשה קטנה. דאיידי דדמיו יקרין לא עבד מיניה קשר מוכסין אלא תפילין ומזוזות, ולא מחייב בשעורא זוטא:
דיו כדי לכתוב שתי אותיות. לרשום על שתי חוליות של כלי או על שני קרשים לזווגן:
כדי לכחול עין אחת. שכן צנועות ההולכות מעוטפות אין מגלות אלא עין אחת וכוחלות אותה:

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.
