(Mishnah): If two women made two Kavim (one each), and they touched each other, even if they are one species, they are exempt. (R. ISAR ZALMAN MELTZER - they intend to bake them together (if not, obviously they are exempt), just they did not intend that they touch);

When they are of one woman, Min b'Mino is obligated, and b'Eino Mino is exempt.

What is Min b'Mino? Wheat does not join with anything, except for spelt. Barley joins with everything, except for wheat;

R. Yochanan ben Nuri says, the other species join with each other.

(Gemara - Mishnah): If two women made two Kavim...

(R. Yochanan): Stam, one woman is not adamant [that her doughs not join], and two women are adamant.

One woman who is adamant (BARTENURA - that the doughs not touch; RI BEN MALKITZEDEK - that they not join), they made her like (gave to her the law of) two women. Two women who are adamant, they made them like one woman.

Question: If [Stam, one woman] is not adamant, why does she make [her dough] in two places [and not one big dough]?

Answer (R. Yonah): This is when she does not have a place to knead [a big dough].

Inference: R. Yonah's words teach that if she had a place to knead [a big dough], and she did it in two places, she is adamant.

(R. Lazar): Two opinions (GRA - she makes dough for two people), they made her like two women.

Question (Shmuel bar Aba): [Do we say that doughs of two women do not join] even if they are Tzaros (wives of the same husband, and both make bread for him? We explained this like GILYONEI HA'SHAS. This question pertains to our Mishnah; GRA says that it should appear right after the Mishnah.)

Some things are connected for Chalah, and not connected for a Tevul Yom. Some are connected for a Tevul Yom, and not connected for Chalah.

Some things are connected for Chalah - our Mishnah teaches that when they are of one woman, Min b'Mino is obligated, and b'Eino Mino is exempt;

It is not connected for a Tevul Yom - a Mishnah teaches that one who gathers Chalos with intent to separate them, and they were Noshech, Beis Shamai says, this is connection for a Tevul Yom (if he touched one, all became Tamei), and Beis Hillel say, it is not a connection for a Tevul Yom.

[Some are] connected for a Tevul Yom, and not connected for Chalah - a Mishnah there teaches that Kodesh meat on which formed a shell of Kipah (congealed gravy, spices and lard, if a Tevul Yom touched the Kipah, the pieces of meat are permitted);

Inference: The rest of the Kipah is [forbidden, for it is considered] connected. Will he not cut it later (and divide it among several Kohanim)?

[Something destined to be cut is not connected for Chalah,] and it is not obligated in Chalah, for R. Yochanan taught that if one makes a dough with intent to divide it into doughs [and give them to different people], it is exempt from Chalah. (We explained this like GRA, YD 326:7.)

Question: (The first Tana taught that wheat joins only with spelt, and barley joins with everything, except for wheat.) What [is his opinion] about the rest [of the five grains]?

Answer (Rav Huna): If you will say that rye is a kind of spelt and oats are a kind of barley, spelt joins with rye, and oats do not join both of them. If you will say that each is a species unto itself, all three do not join with each other.

(Mishnah - R. Yochanan ben Nuri): The other species join with each other.

Some teach that all species join with each other.

Question: According to this Tana of this Beraisa, what is the difference between Nashuch and mixed? (Above (2b), we answered that in Mishnah 1:1, they were mixed, and our Mishnah discusses Nashuch, so only Min b'Mino joins!)

Answer (R. Yudan, the father of R. Masniyah): When [different people had doughs of different species, and afterwards] divided them, and added to them [so they have a Shi'ur again] - if [initially] they were Neshuchim (they were not obligated before, so now) they are obligated. If [initially] they were mixed (they were obligated before, so now) they are exempt.
