[Avodah] Some interesting facts about the Avnet

[Silverman, Philip B]

Marty Bluke writes:

"Tosafos in Erchin 16b states that the Kohen wrapped it around 2 times,
the Shita Mekubetzes there states 32 times (kneged lev). Both of these
opinions seem very difficult."

 

If I can take a shot at reconciling these views (and on Purim, shots are
easy to come by), 

could it be that the avnet was wrapped around the body twice, and the
ends of the avnet

was wrapped around the *avnet* 32 times (I suppose 16 times for each
end)?
