יַבְּלִית שֶׁטּוֹפְלִין בָּהּ הַפִּטָּסִין, הַנּוֹגֵעַ בָּהּ, טָמֵא. מְגוּפַת חָבִית, אֵינָהּ חִבּוּר. הַנּוֹגֵעַ בְּטִפּוּלוֹ שֶׁל תַּנּוּר, טָמֵא:
La pulpe utilisée pour garnir les grands pots est soumise à une impureté rituelle par le toucher. Le bouchon d'un pot n'est pas [considéré] connecté [au pot]. Tout ce qui touche le plâtre du four [peut devenir] impur.

English Explanation of Mishnah Kelim
That which touches the lining of an oven is unclean. The lining of an earthenware oven is an integral part of the oven. Therefore, if the oven becomes impure the lining is impure as well and it will subsequently cause food or drink that comes into contact with it to become impure.
