(a) What does the Tana in Zavin mean when he says 'be'Shiv'ah Derachim Bodkin Es ha'Zav'? Why does a Zav require examination?
(b) Four of the seven ways of bringing on the discharge are eating or drinking too much, illness and carrying a heavy load. What are the other three?
(c) Why do we quote the Pasuk in Ki Savo "b'Derech Echad Yeitz'u Eilecha u've'Shiv'ah Derachim Yanusu Lefanecha" in connection with the Zav?

(a) Why in effect, does ...
1. ... the Pasuk in Yisro treat 'Derech' as a feminine noun, and the Pasuk in Ki Savo as a masculine one? What do we prove from the Pasuk in Tehilim "Toras Hash-m Temimah ... "?
2. ... our Mishnah treat 'Derech' as a feminine noun, and the Mishnah in Zavin as a masculine one?
(b) Why indeed does the Tana in Zavin confine the Mishnah to a Zav? Why does he not incorporate a Zavah in the Halachah?

(a) We conclude that our Tana uses the feminine 'Shalosh' because of 'Derachim' has feminine connotations. Why does he not use the noun 'Devarim', which is exclusively masculine, and write 'bi'Sheloshah Devarim'?
(b) How do we then account for the fact that Kesef and Shtar ...
1. ... are also listed together with Bi'ah?
2. ... are the majority of cases, and it is not the way of the Tana to adjust the Lashon, based on the minority case?
(c) Alternatively, we establish our Mishnah like Rebbi Shimon. How does Rebbi Shimon explain the Torah's use of the phrase "Ki Yikach Ish Ishah" rather than "Ki Silakach Ishah l'Ish"? How does this explain the Tana's use of 'Derachim' as opposed to 'Devarim'?
(d) Why does the Tana in Zavin use the Lashon 'be'Shiv'ah Derachim' rather than 'be'Shiv'ah Devarim'?
