Given: someone claims g'zeira means coercion
1 SA Ch M 2:1 "..Danin bein Missa, bain mammom bein kol dinei onesh..."
A Is G'zeira - as a form of coercion - a greater or lesser coercion than
the list above?"
B If less would it be muttar for a BD to impose it by kal vachomer?
C If not - why not?
2 Can someone explain to me SA Ch. M. 11:1 the Remaks use of the term
g'zeira?
In particular the phrase "..g'zeiras BD o hacham.."
