I'm not sure what RAB meant by "that one". What is the "reason included" on that daf which RTK didn't mention?

If he was referring to cutting the nails out of order, I did not see anything on that daf on that topic.

If he was referring to making sure that a pregnant woman doesn't step on the cut nails, that daf does mention that, but I didn't see anything beyond what RTK wrote.
