==========
FOOTNOTES:
==========
(1) "A" married "1" and "B" married "2". When "1" and "2" die childless, "3" is able to do Yibum with "A" and "4" is able to do Yibum with "B".
(2) When "1" and "2" die childless, "3" is able to do Yibum with "A" (his Yevamah from "1"), and "4" is able to do Yibum with "B" (his Yevamah from "2").
(3) Rashi writes that "4", the second brother to have a daughter from this woman, also bore his daughter through rape. It is evident that the daughter of "3" must have been born through rape, and not through marriage, because if "3" had been *married* to the woman with whom he bore the child, then "4" would have been prohibited to the woman because of "Eshes Achiv" (the wife of his brother), as Rashi writes. However, that reason does not suffice to explain why the daughter of "4" also must have been born through rape, and not marriage. The TOSFOS HA'ROSH indeed quotes a version of Rashi in which Rashi writes that the second daughter was born through marriage. TOSFOS (DH Bito) and the Tosfos ha'Rosh, however, give a different reason why "4" could not have married the woman: had he married her, then both of the Yevamos would have been prohibited to "4" -- one because of "Bito" (she is his daughter) and the other because of "Bas Ishto" (she is the daughter of his wife). As for why Rashi did not mention this reason for setting up the case as one of Onsin (rape), rather than the reason of Eshes Achiv, as the ARUCH LA'NER asks, and Insights to 9b.)
(4) In all of the cases, the sequence of events makes no difference. Even if one event is listed before another in our description of the case, if it was physically possible for the latter event to have occurred first, the Halachic result will be the same. The only case in which the order makes a Halachic difference is the case of "Eshes Achiv she'Lo Hayah ba'Olamo," according to Rebbi Shimon, in which the order of events is essential to the case, as described by the Gemara (top of 10a).
(5) It does not have to be that one *man* bore the two of them from two different *women*. If one *woman* bore them from two different *men*, the result will be the same. The main point is that the two sisters share only one of their parents (i.e. they are half-sisters).
(6) After her previous husband died (or divorced her).
(7) This does not mean that they *must* have the same parents, but rather *even* if they have the same parents, the result will be the same.
(8) In the cases of Achos Imo (#11) and Achos Ishto (#12), Rashi "simplifies" the case by having the mothers of "A" and "B" bear "3" and "4", respectively, from the *same* man and not from different men (MAHARSHA). (In case #11, though, this necessitates having one of the mothers die before the father of "3" and "4" ("Yakov") can marry the second one, for otherwise the second one would be Achos Ishto.) Similarly, Rashi "simplifies" the case of Eshes Achiv me'Imo (#10) by having both "A" and "B" give birth to *two* of the four brothers (i.e. one gave birth to both "1" and "3", and the other gave birth to both "2" and "4"), thus requiring that Yakov marry only two wives and not four (MAHARSHA). (The Maharsha concludes that it is not clear why Rashi did not simplify the case of Achos Imo (#11) [and of Eshes Achiv me'Imo (#13) -- MK] in a similar fashion, by giving Yakov only two wives instead of three, see ARUCH LA'NER.)
