Starting with a long mishnah: the phrasing of the vow prohibiting benefit makes a real difference, even in private property. What happens when the property is available for public use?

Also, on the people of the Galilee – whom the Gemara calls “contrarians,” who regularly made nedarim, swearing off each other’s property! Plus, a second mishnah – with the case of a grandfather who swears off benefit from his son, which makes things difficult when the son is marrying off the grandson. A work-around is needed.
