Mishnah for Makhshirin 4:2
מִי שֶׁיָּרְדוּ עָלָיו גְּשָׁמִים, אֲפִלּוּ אַב הַטֻּמְאָה, אֵינוֹ בְכִי יֻתַּן. וְאִם נִעֵר, בְּכִי יֻתַּן. עָמַד תַּחַת הַצִּנּוֹר לְהָקֵר אוֹ לִדּוֹחַ, בְּטָמֵא, טְמֵאִין. וּבְטָהוֹר, בְּכִי יֻתַּן:
[If] rain fell on an individual it does it not achieve <i>BeKhi Yutan</i> [if the water subsequently falls from him onto fruit] even if he is an <i>Av HaTumah</i> [a principal source of impurity]. But if he shook [the water off] that does achieve <i>BeKhi Yutan</i>. [If] one stood under the [roof] gutter to cool himself or to wash himself: [If] he was impure [the water] is impure; and [if] he was pure that achieves <i>BeKhi Yutan</i>.
Mishnah Kelim
Above the zav is the zavah, for she conveys impurity to the man who has intercourse with her. Above the zavah is the metzora, for he conveys impurity by entering into a house. Above the metzora is a [human] bone the size of a barley grain, for it conveys impurity for seven days. More strict than all these is a corpse, for it conveys impurity by ohel (tent) whereby all the others convey no impurity.
