(a) Following the Tana Kama's ruling in our Mishnah (regarding the wife who returned after her husband had married her sister), Rebbi Yosi states 'Kol she'Posel al Yedei Acheirim Posel al Yedei Atzmo (v'Chol she'Ein Posel al Yedei Acherim Ein Posel al Yedei Atzmo)'. What does he mean by that?
(b) How do we know that he does not mean to say the opposite (that just as his own wife is permitted to him, so too, is his brother-in-law permitted to his wife?
