(a) What does our Mishnah now say about a Saris and an Aylonis?

(a) Rebbi Ami therefore establishes Rebbi Akiva when the Saris' brother married a Giyores. How does that answer the question?

(c) And why does Rebbi Yehoshua say 'Choltzin' (and not 'Meyabmin')?
(d) How do we prove that Rebbi Akiva does indeed permit even Yibum?

(a) Who is the author of the Beraisa which permits a Petzu'a Daka ... a Seris Adam and a Zaken to perform Yibum?
(b) Does it make any difference whether he dies and his brothers perform Chalitzah or Yibum with his wife, or whether his brothers die and he performs Chalitzah or Yibum with their wives?
(c) When the Beraisa concludes 'v'Asur l'Kayman Mishum she'Ne'emar "Lo Yavo Petzu'a Daka ... bi'Kehal Hash-m", which of the cases listed in the Beraisa does it not include?
(d) How does Rabah use this Beraisa to prove Rebbi Ami's interpretation of Rebbi Akiva wrong?

12)
(a) So Rabah establishes Rebbi Akiva when the Yevamah fell to Yibum before the brother became a Saris. Rav Yosef objects to this explanation however, based on a ruling of Raban Gamliel in Perek Beis Shamai. What is his objection? What does Raban Gamliel say?
(b) So how does Rav Yosef establish Rebbi Akiva, even when his brother did not marry a Giyores and even if he became a Seris Adam before his brother died?
(c) How does Rava deal with the problem: that even if a Seris Adam was fit to have children beforehand, seeing as now he is not, we ought to apply the Pasuk "l'Hakim l'Achiv Shem"?
(d) How will Rebbi Eliezer, who does not contend with the fact that the Saris was previously fit to have children, then explain why everyone does not die a Saris?
