[Avodah] simple eruv question

Just an FYI: on Eruvin 94, R Rosner made the following comment in his daf
yomi shiur:

What is the lomdus of pi tikra?  Some rishonim say it is just a fancy form
of gud achis; they put them together, even though the gemara doesn't put
them together.  Others say, they are different, that maybe it's just a din
of havdalah.  Meaning: you're not creating any type of structure by pi
tikra, you're just creating enough to be mavdil the reshuyos, which would
not be good enough, e.g., for a sukkah, where you need walls


(Somewhat uncharacteristically, he didn't actually name any of the rishonim
or give sources for that statement.  That might have been because it was
right at the very end of the shiur and he was running out of time -- or
that he just wanted to slip in some general comments before moving on).


Good shabbos!
