SUMMARY

1. The term "Arur" may imply excommunication, a curse, or a vow.
 
2. The term "Amen" may imply a vow, a commitment, or an affirmation.
 
3. The term "Lav" and the term "Hen" may imply a vow.
 
4. If a person "blesses" Hashem with a Kinuy, there is a disagreement about whether he is Chayav Misah.
 
5. If a person curses a parent with a Kinuy, there is a disagreement about whether he is Chayav Misah.
 
6. If a person curses himself or his friend with a Kinuy, it is a transgression of a Lo Sa'aseh.
 
7. If a person implies a curse to his friend by saying, "Hashem shall not strike you if you testify for me," there is a disagreement about whether he is Chayav.
 
8. If a person was put under oath for a Shevu'as ha'Pikadon outside of Beis Din, there is a disagreement about whether he is Chayav a Korban.
 
9. A person is Chayav a Korban for a Shevu'as ha'Pikadon if he acted completely b'Mezid, or if he was Mezid regarding the Shevu'ah but was unaware that he was Chayav a Korban.
 
10. If a person was placed under oath for a Shevu'as ha'Pikadon five times and he continuously denied that he has the Pikadon in his possession, he is Chayav a Korban for each Shevu'ah.
 
11. If a person swears to a few people and says, "I swear that I don't have your Pikadon in my possession, and not to you, and not to you," there is a disagreement about whether he is Chayav a Korban for each one.

A BIT MORE

1. If the Beis Din uses the term "Arur" in the context of excommunicating a person, it means an excommunication. If it is used as a curse, it means a curse. If it is used in the context of a vow, it means a vow.
 
2. If someone responds "Amen" upon hearing a Shevu'ah, it is the same as making a vow. If someone tells his friend, "I will do such and such for you if you fulfill a certain condition," and his friend says "Amen," he is committed to fulfilling the condition. If a person hears a prayer or supplication to Hashem, it is appropriate to respond "Amen" to express that he, too, wants the prayer to be fulfilled.
 
3. If the term "Lav" or "Hen" is repeated, it implies a vow.
 
4. Rebbi Meir maintains that he is Chayav Misah. The Rabanan maintain that it is only an Isur Lav.
 
5. Rebbi Meir maintains that he is Chayav Misah. Rebbi Menachem ben Yosi disagrees.
 
6. Rebbi Menachem ben Yosi agrees that he transgresses the Lo Sa'aseh even if he only uses a Kinuy.
 
7. Rebbi Meir says that he is Chayav because the positive can be inferred from the negative. The Chachamim disagree.
 
8. Rebbi Meir maintains that he is Chayav a Korban only if he responds "Amen" to the Shevu'ah. The Chachamim maintain that if he denies having the Pikadon in his possession he is Chayav a Korban even if he did not respond "Amen" to the Shevu'ah.
 
9. However, if he acted completely b'Shogeg, as he was unaware at the time of the Shevu'ah that the Pikadon was in his possession, he is exempt from a Korban because his transgression is regarded as an Ones.
 
10. Since he could have admitted that he had the Pikadon in his possession even after his denial, each Shevu'ah was a denial of a monetary obligation.
 
11. The Tana Kama maintains that he is Chayav a Korban for each one. Rebbi Eliezer maintains that he is Chayav a Korban for each one only if he says "Shevu'ah" at the end. Rebbi Shimon maintains that he is Chayav a Korban for each one only if he says "Shevu'ah" for each one.
