(a) Some refer to Eishes Achiv she'Lo Hayah b'Olamo (when she falls to the younger brother to Yibum for the second time) as 'Rishonah', others as 'Sheniyah'. Why is she referred to as 'Rishonah'?
(b) What is wrong with referring to her as 'Sheniyah' due to the fact that she was the second to marry the second brother (before he died)?
(c) Why then, is she referred to as 'Sheniyah'?
(d) Which Pasuk in Ki Setzei does Rav Yehudah Amar Rav cite as the source for 'Eishes Achiv she'Lo Hayah b'Olamo'?

(a) He also learns from "Yachdav" that they share their father's inheritance, to preclude a maternal brother from Yibum. Rabah learns this latter Derashah from a 'Gezeirah-Shavah'. Which 'Gezeirah-Shavah'?
(b) On what grounds do we reject the suggestion to rather include maternal brothers in the Din of Yibum, from "Achvah" "Achvah" from the Parashah of the Arayos, where the Torah writes "Ervas Achicha ... " (incorporating both a paternal brother and a maternal one)?
(c) On what grounds do we refute the Kashya on this rejection from the 'Gezeirah-Shavah' "v'Shav" "u'Ba", from which we see that even different words can form a 'Gezeirah-Shavah'?
(d) On what grounds do we reject the suggestion to learn the 'Gezeirah-Shavah' from Lot, where the Torah in Lech-L'cha also uses the word "Ki Anashim Achim Anachnu"?
(e) What if we had learned the Gezeirah-Shavah from Lot?

8)
(a) We conclude that in fact, "Achim" by Lot is also superfluous (since the Torah could have written "Re'im" instead). Then what prevents us from learning "Achvah" "Achvah" from Lot?
(b) Now that we have "Yachdav" however, why do we still need the 'Gezeirah-Shavah' of "Achvah" "Achvah" (from the Bnei Yakov)?
(c) Seeing as the Torah connects Yibum to inheritance (inasmuch as the Yavam inherits his brother's property), why would we have even thought that only a brother who is both paternal and maternal can perform Yibum?

(a) What do we extrapolate from Rav Huna Amar Rav, who says that if a Shomeres Yavam dies, the Yavam is permitted to marry her mother?
(b) What does Rebbi Yehudah ben Beseirah (in Perek ha'Choletz) say about a Yavam who betrothed his Yevamah's sister, leaving his brother to perform Yibum with the Yevamah?
(c) What is his reason?
(d) We extrapolate from Shmuel, who says 'Halachah k'Rebbi Yehudah ben Beseirah, that the Rabanan argue with him. What do the Rabanan say? What is their reason?
(e) In that case, why did Rav not simply rule like the Rabanan?

(a) What does Rebbi Akiva (in Perek Arba'ah Achim) say with regard to a Yavam nullifying his Yevamah's Nedarim?
(b) What is his reason?
(c) So why does Rav not simply rule like Rebbi Akiva?

(a) What do we initially extrapolate from the Mishnah in ha'Choletz: 'Yevimto she'Mesah, Mutar ba'Achosah'?
(b) What problem does this create?
(c) We answer that really, he is permitted to marry her mother as well, and the Tana writes 'Mutar ba'Achosah' (rather than 'be'Imah'), because of the Reisha. What does the Reisha say?

12)
(a) Rav Yehudah says 'Shomeres Yavam she'Mesah, Asur b'Imah', because he holds 'Yesh Zikah'. What reason do we initially give to explain why he does not simply rule like those who say 'Yesh Zikah'?
(b) On what grounds do we reject that answer?
(c) Why then, did Rav Yehudah not say Halachah k'Divrei ha'Omer 'Yesh Zikah'?
