זיל בתר רוב חתיכות ורוב חתיכות של (מיני) ארבעת מיני דמים הויין
unclean only where the object had the colour of one of the four kinds of blood,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Described in the Mishnah supra 19a as unclean. (Black and red which in the Mishnah are regarded as two different colours and, therefore, bring the total number of unclean colours to five, are here regarded as one colour since the former is but a deterioration of the latter). R. Judah holds that the shapeless object is but a piece of clotted blood. Hence, if its colour is that of unclean blood, the woman, though not in childbirth, must be deemed unclean as a menstruant.
