Commentary for Kiddushin 116:1
א"ל הוצאה את איכסיף הוא סבר משמעתא קאמר ליה א"ל הכי קאמינא רב אסי דהוצל קאי כותיך
- He replied: You are huza'ah.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' This is explained in the text.');"><sup>1</sup></span> So he was ashamed, for he thought that he meant it with reference to the subject.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Deriving the word from huza, 'shrub', he understood him to say 'You are a shrubcutter'; i.e., your suggestion shows that your knowledge is only fit for this work.');"><sup>2</sup></span>
Daf Shevui to Kiddushin
R. Huna calls R. Hiyya b. Abin “hutza’ah” and the latter thinks this is an insult. But then R. Huna reassures him it is not. He only meant to say that someone from Huzal agreed with him.
