Mesorat%20hashas for Meilah 4:3

כָּל הַפִּגּוּלִין מִצְטָרְפִין זֶה עִם זֶה. כָּל הַנּוֹתָרִין מִצְטָרְפִין זֶה עִם זֶה. כָּל הַנְּבֵלוֹת מִצְטָרְפוֹת זוֹ עִם זוֹ. כָּל הַשְּׁרָצִים מִצְטָרְפִין זֶה עִם זֶה. דַּם הַשֶּׁרֶץ וּבְשָׂרוֹ מִצְטָרְפִין. כְּלָל אָמַר רַבִּי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ, כֹּל שֶׁטֻּמְאָתוֹ וְשִׁעוּרוֹ שָׁוִין, מִצְטָרְפִין זֶה עִם זֶה. טֻמְאָתוֹ וְלֹא שִׁעוּרוֹ, שִׁעוּרוֹ וְלֹא טֻמְאָתוֹ, לֹא טֻמְאָתוֹ וְלֹא שִׁעוּרוֹ, אֵין מִצְטָרְפִין זֶה עִם זֶה:

All foods that are <i>pigul</i> combine with each other. All [foods] that are <i> notar</i> combine with each other. All <i> neveilot</i> [a kosher species which died without being properly slaughtered],combine with each other. All <i> sheratzim</i>[creeping animals] combine with each other. The blood of a <i> sheretz</i> and its flesh combine with each other. Rabbi Yehoshua said a general rule: anything whose transmission of impurity and its [minimum] measure [to make something else impure] are the same, they can combine [with each other]. If their transmission of impurity is the same, but their [minimum] measure [to make something else impure] is not the same, [or if their minimum] measure [to make something else impure] is the same but their transmission of impurity is not the same, they do not combine.
