Commentary for Chullin 131:2
בראשו ארוך קמיפלגי תנא דבי רב סבר
and the Tanna of the school of R'Ishmael? - In the long-headed species.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' According to the Tanna of the school of R. Ishmael, whose process of interpretation is set forth in the text below, the result is that sol'am and hagab are each rendered superfluous for their own sakes, i.e., the varieties they represent would have been inferred by the principle of 'two general propositions separated from each other by specifications'. These terms are therefore utilized for the following purposes: the former to permit the long-headed species, and the latter to forbid the zarzur, v. supra 65b. According to the Tanna of the school of Rab, however, each particular specification can include only those equal to it in every respect, and as none of the specified types are long-headed the result is that the long-headed species of locusts are forbidden.');"><sup>2</sup></span>
