Major Question:

The gemara inquires whether an אמלתרא would help a Korah be a valid Tikun for a Mavui whose opening is wider than 10 Amos. The Gemara (3a) said the benefit of an אמלתרא is that it attracts attention and makes the Korah noticable therefore a Korah with an אמלתרא can be placed higher than 20 Amos. An opening wider than 10 Amos is considered a Pirtzah. How could an אמלתרא help for an opening wider than 10 Amos as the issue is entirely different?

Conclusion of אתי אוירא מהאי גיסא ואוירא מהאי גיסא ומבטלה 

Question:

In the case of עור העסלא (on bottom of דף י עמוד ב) if the total width of the seat is one tefach it is an אהל לטומאה. We discussed earlier a concept of אתי אוירא מהאי גיסא ואוירא מהאי גיסא ומבטלה. Why when the space between the two solid planks is equal or larger than the solid part don’t we apply the rule of אתי אוירא?  The solid part of the seat should be negated and no longer considered an אהל לטומאה ?

Quickly review the גמרא דף י: “אי נמי until “וליחוש”

The Gemara introduces four concepts

1. פרוץ מרובה על העומד

2. עומד מרובה משני רוחות 

3. פרוץ כעומד

4. אתי אוירא .. ומבטלה 

According to the opinion that עומד מרובה משני רוחות  is considered עומד מרובה does it have exactly the same status of עומד מרובה or is it a lower tier?

The gemara says it’s possible that פרוץ כעומד is good yet we still would say אתי אוירא מהאי גיסא ואוירא מהאי גיסא ומבטלה. If פרוץ  is indeed כעומד why should it be any different than when the Amud is larger than the adjacent gap of air in which we do not say אתי אוירא ומבטלה?
