Except that WRT mamzeirim, we have "kivan shenitma, nitma" -- a unique
principle that has no parallel for areilim.

This is the first I heard of avodim. And not sure why it would be
necessary -- any eved ivri would have to have been bought ("leased"
may be more accurate) within the past 7 years anyway. It's not something
easily lost, and if forgotten, not long relevent.

: What percentage of milas are done with metzitzah bapeh today?

It was 100% during bayis sheini, and if their pesaq wins over Sanhedrin,
or ours is proven to be based on ta'us and doesn't need a Sanhedrin to
be finally dead, it would again be 100% in bayis shelishi.

Tir'u baTov!
