Commentary for Moed Katan 46:3
אי סלקא דעתך יש אבילות בשבת השתא אבילות נהגא אפסוקי מיבעיא
And as to the other side who said that [some] mourning is to be observed on the Sabbath, surely it states AND DOES NOT INTERRUPT? - Because he has to state in the latter part that [FESTIVALS] INTERRUPT [the mourning], he teaches also [for the sake of symmetry] in the former part [THE SABBATH.] DOES NOT INTERRUPT. Might not one suggest that their disagreement goes back to the [divergent] views of [older] Tannaim [as set out in the following Baraitha]? For it has been taught: 'One who has his dead laid out before him eats [his meals] in another house [room]; if he have not another house [room], he eats in his friend's house; if he have not a friend's house [available], he makes him a partition [ten handbreadths high];<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' This is a gloss - not found in the parallel texts - on the technical height of a partition. Cf. Shab. ');"><sup>2</sup></span>
