permitted neutralize the prohibition? But didn’t we learn in a mishna: The growths of teruma are teruma, indicating that they do not neutralize the prohibition of the original part of the plant? The Gemara answers: We are speaking of the growths of growths. Rabbi Yannai permits the teruma, not due to the majority of direct growths of teruma; he permitted it due to the majority of growths that sprouted from its growths. The Gemara asks: We already learned that too: The status of growths of growths of teruma is that of non-sacred produce. The Gemara answers: This teaches us that the growths of growths are permitted even in items whose seeds do not cease, e.g., onions. הֶיתֵּר מַעֲלִין אֶת הָאִיסּוּר וְהָתְנַן גִּידּוּלֵי תְרוּמָה תְּרוּמָה בְּגִידּוּלֵי גִידּוּלִין קָאָמְרִינַן הָא נָמֵי תְּנֵינָא גִּידּוּלֵי גִידּוּלִין חוּלִּין הָא קָא מַשְׁמַע לַן אֲפִילּוּ בְּדָבָר שֶׁאֵין זַרְעוֹ כָּלֶה
The Gemara asks: But didn’t we learn in a mishna: With regard to untithed produce, its growths are permitted in items whose seeds cease; however, concerning items whose seeds do not cease, the growths of growths are forbidden. The Gemara answers: It teaches us that if the increase of the growths of growths exceeded its primary, original part, that original part is permitted. וְהָתְנַן הַטֶּבֶל גִּידּוּלָיו מוּתָּרִין בְּדָבָר שֶׁזַּרְעוֹ כָּלֶה אֲבָל דָּבָר שֶׁאֵין זַרְעוֹ כָּלֶה גִּידּוּלֵי גִידּוּלִין אֲסוּרִין רִבּוּיָא דְּרַבּוּ גִידּוּלִין עַל עִיקָּרוֹ מוּתָּר קָא מַשְׁמַע לַן:
