Can we derive from our mishna whether or not when the mishnyaot refer to a sela, they mean the higher valued currency (sela tzuri) or the lower valued (sela medina – one eighth of the other sela)?  If an animal is muad for one type, does that make him muad for all types of animals?  If he is muad for people, then is he also muad for animals?  For small animals, is he muad for large animals?   Depending on how you read the mishna on this page, affects how you answer this question.  It all depends on a single letter “vav“.  The two different readings are brought and analyzed.  Other situations of determining patterns are brought and questions are raised and comparisons are made to nidda where also patterns are used for determining whether a woman has a set menstrual cycle or not.
