<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>For those following the daf (and those who aren't as
well), especially if you have medical or vet background, can you explain why a
small nick in the veshet produces a traifa (which will not survive 12 months)
whereas it won't in the koneh unless it is rov. I would have thought that the
koneh would be the more sensitive to a small nick than the veshet
wrt the well-being of the animal? Please explain the physiology. Some here
at our daf pointed to the cartilaginous ring support the koneh has to
remain open and prevent collapse of the tube - which is of course lacking
in the veshet. I am not sure that would make a diff - with the airway function
still the more sensitive to small nicks - to my lay way of
thinking.</FONT></DIV>
