R'Shemaiah objected: If one sets a perforated pot in a vineyard,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The pot contains cereals, and being perforated it draws its sustenance from the soil of the vineyard, which renders it (the pot) forbidden as kil'ayim.');">¹⁵</span> if one two-hundredth part is added, it is [all] forbidden:<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' One two-hundredth part is inclusive, i.e., the addition is one two-hundredth of the present total, so that the original is only one hundred and ninety-nine times as much. If kil'ayim is mixed with permitted eatables, it is all forbidden unless the latter is two hundred times as much as the former.');">¹⁶</span> thus, only if there is added, but not if there is not added?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Though it struck root; which shows that the original stock is not forbidden.');">¹⁷</span>
