המנכש. תולש עשבים רעים מתוך טובים. פ״א חופר סביב עקרי הצמחים והיא מלאכה מעין חרישה:
מקרסם. קוצץ ענפים יבשים מן האילן לתקנו:
מזרד. זרדים לחים חדשים של שנה זו, ופעמים שהן מרובים ומתגדלים ומכחישים כח האילן וקוצצין אותן ממנו:
אם לתקן. את האילן או את הקרקע, וקצצו מן המחובר:
ביצה קלה. כגרוגרת מביצת תרנגולת, שהיא קלה להתבשל יותר משאר ביצים:

Mishnayos Shabbos Perek 12 Mishnah 3
שבת פרק י"ב משנה ג׳
Bartenura
בין בימינו בין בשמאלו – a person who is ambidextrous, for among the rest of the people, lefty-handwriting is not writing.
בין משם אחד – both of them are Alephs.
משני שמות – Aleph and Bet.
משני סממניות – one is with ink and the other is with red paint. But there are books that have the reading from two marks/סימניות, that is to say, with two marks/signs, such as we write one for one sign and a second for the second sign.
בכל לשון – and he wrote of each and every nation.
משום רושם – a sign/mark that they would make on the planks/boards of the Tabernacle for they take it apart, and when they re-erect it, they should not confuse the order of the boards/planks, but Rabbi Yosi comes to state that even if he did not write other than making two mere markings as a sign, he is liable. But the Halakha is not like Rabbi Yosi.
מצינו שם קטן – that is to say, even though his work was not completed, but he had intended to write a large letter, and wrote part of it, for since that part is a letter and exists in another place, he is liable, and such is the Halakha.
בין בימינו בין בשמאלו. באדם שהוא שולט בשתי ידיו, דאילו בשאר כל אדם כתיבת שמאל אינה כתיבה:
בין משם אחד. שתיהן אלפין:
משני שמות. אלף בית:
משני סממניות. אחד בדיו ואחד בסיקרא. ואית ספרים דגרסי משני סמניות כלומר משני סימנים, כגון שכותבים א׳ לסימן אחד וב׳ לסימן שנים:
בכל לשון. וכתב של כל אומה ואומה:
משום רושם. סימן שהיו עושין בקרשי המשכן, מפני שמפרקים אותן ולכשיקימוהו לא יחליפו סדר הקרשים. ואתא רבי יוסי למימר דאפילו לא כתב אלא שרשם שני רשימות בעלמא לסימן, חייב. ואין הלכה כר״י:
מצינו שם קטן. כלומר אע״פ שלא נגמר מלאכתו, שנתכוין לכתוב תיבה גדולה וכתב מקצתה, הואיל ואותו מקצת הויא תיבה ומתקיימת במקום אחר חייב, וכן הלכה:
Mishnah Yomi FAQ

In 1934, the Kozoglover Gaon, Rav Aryeh Tzvi Frommer, who took over from Rav Meir Shapiro (the founder of Daf Yomi) as the head of Yeshivas Chachmei Lublin, initiated the Mishnah Yomi cycle, focusing on Seder Zeraim and Seder Taharos. 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.
