Lo zakhisi lehavin.

All the other YT sheini are lezeikher an uncertaintain. They are a
taqanah derabbanan, not the original uncertainty.

Yes, let's say the taqanah was to continue acting AS THOUGH the
uncertainty was there. So, we saved the idea off the other holidays
being of the form of an uncertainty.

But then Shavuos's 2nd day is lo pelug. Which means that it too was
like the others, which would mean a taqanah to imitate being uncertain
about the date.

What am I missing in the CS's sevara?

:-)BBii!
