And that which one of the Aharonim wanted to infer from this that
Kriah only applies to something which is sown and woven, a
collection of many parts, as was the case with the Y'rios, but not to
something which is one entity, like hide or paper, this is not so, for
it is explicit in the Yerushalmi that Kriah applies also to hide.  And
the Nishmas Adam already proposed this, but rejected it on the strength
of this Yerushalmi.
