1a)[line 1]לקיחהLEKICHAH- (lit. taking) picking

b)[line 1]והבאהHAVA'AH- bringing [the Bikurim fruits to Yerushalayim]

2)[line 9]מסקא ארעא שירטוןMASKA AR'A SEIRATON- the level of the land will rise due to silt (O.F. limon - thin, slippery mud that is soft, sticky, and half-liquid) [and branches emanating from the trunk might be covered to the extent that they look like separate trees, and the buyer may claim to have bought three trees with the land in which they are planted]

3)[line 11]יקוץYAKUTZ- [those branches belong to the owner of the tree but] he must cut [them off]

4)[line 12]נקיטינןNEKITINAN- we have a tradition from our teachers

5)[line 12]דקל אין לו גזעDEKEL EIN LO GEZA- a palm tree does not have a trunk (that is, the one who buys the tree is not entitled to the growths that come from the trunk, as the Gemara will explain)

6a)[line 14]דכיון דלמחפר ולשרש קאיKEIVAN DEL'MICHPAR UL'SHARESH KAI- since it (the palm tree) is going to be dug up and uprooted (when it dries up, since the buyer did not purchase the land beneath it)

b)[line 14]אסוחי מסח דעתיהASUCHEI MASACH DA'ATEI- he removes his mind [from acquiring any of the outgrowths; i.e. he does not have intention to acquire anything that grows out from the trunk]

82b----------------------------------------82b

7)[line 1]כמלוא אורה וסלוKI'MELO OREH V'SALO- like the width of the fig-picker and his basket

8)[line 2]דרך אין לוDERECH EIN LO - [when the buyer purchases the three trees in the seller's field,] he does not have a path [to get to his trees] (MOCHER, B'AYIN RA'AH MOCHER / B'AYIN YAFAH MOCHER)

Rebbi Akiva and the Chachamim argue about what the nature of a seller is when he sells property without specifying if he is keeping anything for himself. "Mocher, b'Ayin Yafah Mocher" means that a seller sells with good will and does not keep any part of what he sells for himself. For example, when a person sells a field and does not sell the well in it, the seller must purchase a path through the field from the buyer in order to be able to get to his well, since he sold the field with "good will," not leaving a path for himself. If the seller sells "b'Ayin Ra'ah," it means that he keeps a certain part of what he is selling for himself.
