והדר ביה אביי מההיא דכל אגב מדלייהו לא מחמצי דאמר אביי האי חצבא דאבישנ' סחיפא שרי זקיפא אסור רבא אמר אפילו זקיפא נמי שרי מי פירות נינהו ומי פירות אינן מחמיצין
and sap of fruit does not cause fermentation. Now Abaye retracted from that [view], because as long as they [the grains] absorb [liquid], they do not ferment.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' MS.M. reads: as long as they (the liquids) are in motion (boiling) , they do not create fermentation.');"><sup>3</sup></span> For Abaye said: The jar for roasting [ears of corn]: if it is inverted, it is permitted;<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' As the sap which is exuded runs out and is not re-absorbed by the other ears. - Therefore the same will hold good where he singes two ears of corn together, which on this view must be permitted. Thus he retracted from his former view.');"><sup>4</sup></span>
