"eis" is the time of day. You have "eis" as a point in the shana but I
think that "zman" is the word for a point in the calendar. Cf. on Chanuka
when we say "bayamim hahem bizman hazeh" -- zman hazeh meaning this time of
year. </FONT></DIV>

ya'amod" -- if somebody strikes his slave and his slave survives "one day or two
days" before dying. Rashi says that means he survives 24 hours, living
part of one day and part of the next day -- "ze me'eis la'eis" -- he survives
from this time one day to the same time the next day.</DIV>
