*********************GIRSA SECTION*********************

We recommend using the textual changes suggested by the Bach and the marginal notes of the Vilna Shas. This section is devoted to any other important corrections that Acharonim have pointed out in the Gemara, Rashi and Tosfos.

The words "Chayah k'Devarecha" çéä ëãáøéê

should be "Hayah k'Devarecha" äéä ëãáøéê (Warsaw and other editions of the Shas)

5)[line 3]î÷öú äéåí ëëåìåMIKTZAS HA'YOM K'CHULO - after a part of the last day of her term has passed, her term is completed and she can give birth

The rule of Miktzas ha'Yom k'Chulo states that part of the last day of a finite term (e.g. the thirty days of Nezirus or the seven days of mourning), is considered as though it were the entire day. For example, keeping Nezirus at the beginning of the thirtieth day is considered as if it was kept for the entire day.
