האבן שבקרויה. דלעת יבשה וממלאים בה מים, ומתוך שהיא קלה אינה שואבת אלא צפה ונותנין בה אבן להכבידה:
אם ממלאין. בקרויה:
ואין האבן נופלת. שהדקוה יפה בפי הקרויה הוה כלי:
ואם לאו. הרי היא כשאר אבנים ואין מטלטלים את הקרויה, שנעשית בסיס לאבן שנושאתה:
זמורה שהיא קשורה לטפיח. לפך קטן ששואבין בו מים מן הבור או מן המעין ממלאים בו דשויא להך זמורה כלי:

Mishnayos Shabbos Perek 17 Mishnah 7
שבת פרק י"ז משנה ז׳
Bartenura
פקק החלון – such as a tablet or a curtain or other things that they close a window with.
ותלוי – that is not dragged on the ground.
ואם לאו אין פוקקין בו – for if it was dragged on the ground when it is loosened from the ground to close it, it appears like adding to the building, and Rabbi Eliezer holds that we don’t add to a temporary tent on Shabbat.
בין כך ובין כך – whether it is tied or not tied, we shutter it up with it, since it was prepared/ready from the day before, for this the Rabbis hold that we add on to a temporary tent on the Sabbath, and the Halakha is according to the Sages.
פקק החלון. כגון לוח ומסך או שאר כל דבר שסותמים בו החלון:
ותלוי. שאינו נגרר בארץ:
ואם לאו אין פוקקין בו. שאם נגרר על גבי קרקע כשהוא שומטו מעל הארץ לסתום בו, מיחזי כמוסיף על הבנין, וסבר רבי אליעזר אין מוסיפין על אהל עראי בשבת:
בין כך ובין כך. בין קשור בין אינו קשור פוקקין בו, הואיל והיה מוכן מאתמול לכך, דסברי רבנן מוסיפין על אהל עראי בשבת. והלכה כחכמים:

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.

האבן שבקרויה – a dry gourd and we fill it with water and because it is light, it is not drawing water but rather it floats and we put a stone to make it heavy.
אם ממלאין – the pumpkin-shell
ואין האבן נופלת - for the pounded stone fits well in the mouth of the pumpkin shell and it is a utensil.
ואם לאו – then it is like other stones, and we don’t carry the pumpkin shell that had become the base for the stone that carries it.
זמורה שהיא קשורה בטפיח – to a small pitcher that we draw from it water from the well or from the spring from which we fill it for this branch is considered a utensil.
