Rambam's specific usages:

   1. Mipi hasmu'ah: an interpretation of a  TEXT from Sinai
   e.g.  bayom harishon tashbisu means the 14th of Nissan and NOT the 15th
   although the Rambam uses logic also based upon lo sizbach....
   2. HLMM  an oral tradition NOT rooted in any specific text
   e.g Tefillin must be black
   3. Mippi Hakkbalah  - I'm not sure!?.  kabbalah can at times refers to
   tradition from Nevi'im but I am not sure how Rambam uses this.
